The film was based on a 1924 play by Michael Arlen, The Green Hat; as the play was considered so daring in the United States, the movie did not make any references to it and was renamed A Woman of Affairs, with the characters equally renamed to mollify the censors.
Based on a story by Jacques Théry, with a screenplay by Michael Arlen and Walter Reisch, the film is about the beautiful wife of a professorial astronomer who becomes convinced that her astrologer's prediction that she will meet her true love will come true.
