Production
Pre-production began in July, 1932, with members of the Fox company visiting locations in Sequoia National Park.[2] Most of the cast was announced by early August.[3] Shooting began in Sequoia on August 7,[4] and lasted two weeks that same month; the primary farm set built at picnic ground and became a brief tourist attraction while it stood.[5] Upon the crew's return to Los Angeles on August 31, director Raoul Walsh told the press that he was very excited about Joan Bennett's performance: "Joan Bennett's come alive ion this film... And I think I am a lucky guy to have directed her in it."[6] An additional Western set was built at the Fox Studios.[7]
