Although Wylie's story was published as "Second Honeymoon", it was purchased by Twentieth Century-Fox under the title "Worship the Sun". An article published by "The Hollywood Reporter" noted that Frederick Jackson was working on the picture's script, but the extent of his contribution to the completed film has not been confirmed. According to a 20 December 1941 story outline, contained in the Twentieth Century-Fox Produced Scripts Collection at the UCLA Library, Fred Astaire and Rudy Vallee were originally considered for the male leads.
