Served as the inspiration years later for Walt Disney Productions' The Parent Trap (1961), which also related the tale of estranged twins with different personalities who switch places to spend time with the father/mother they never knew.
A good example of the hit-or-miss star-building component of the studio system, and MGM in particular. The Wilde Twins, Lee Wilde and Lyn Wilde, had made specialty appearances in Presenting Lily Mars (1943) and Two Girls and a Sailor (1944) when their acting debut as the focal point of Andy Hardy's Blonde Trouble (1944) resulted in unexpectedly high box office returns. As the Hardy series had successfully launched the careers of Lana Turner, Donna Reed and Esther Williams, the twins were likewise given their own starring vehicle with this film, but it was met with critical and commercial indifference. The girls made one final appearance, performing "She Didn't Say Yes" in Till the Clouds Roll By (1946), before MGM dropped their option. The Wilde Twins made only two more films, Campus Honeymoon (1948) at Republic, and Look for the Silver Lining (1949) at Warner Bros., the latter which did not even bill them as an act.
Although the plots of Walt Disney Productions' The Parent Trap (1961) and The Parent Trap (1998), strongly resemble this film, these films were based on the German novel "Das doppelte Lottchen" by Erich Kästner.
