Facts about

Though Archie Mayo received sole on-screen credit as director, the scenes showing Jascha Heifetz performing were actually directed by William Wyler. Because of Heifetz' schedule, Sam Goldwyn had to complete those scenes before he had assigned a director to film the rest of the movie.
In the movie, the newspaper account lists Jascha Heifetz's stolen Violin as a Stradivarius. Heifetz actually used a Guarnarius in the picture and favored that violin in real life, but the producers felt that the name of Stradivarius would be more recognizable.
Gene Reynolds, who plays Frankie, would go on to a successful career as a TV producer and director, most notably of M*A*S*H.
