It was reported in Kinematograph Weekly, 8 August 1935, that filming at Crystal Palace took place on 27 and 28 June. The report also noted that the producers, City Film Corporation, had subsequently been fined ‘for employing children’ in the scenes at Crystal Palace adding ‘that to-day the employment of anyone under 12 in a British Studio is illegal.’ Crowd scenes featured children and while ‘they were properly cared for by a guardian and the work was very light’ a ‘fine of 10s. was imposed on each of the four summonses.’
