Interesting facts

The Devil to Pay! is a 1930 American pre-Code romantic drama film directed by George Fitzmaurice and starring Ronald Colman, Frederick Kerr, Myrna Loy and Loretta Young. It was written by Frederick Lonsdale and Benjamin Glazer.

Production

Samuel Goldwyn recruited playwright Frederick Lonsdale to write a story after meeting him on a visit to London. Goldwyn considered the film an ideal vehicle for Colman to follow his success in his previous film, Bulldog Drummond (1929). Constance Cummings was originally cast in the female lead but was replaced because her American accent was too strong for the British setting.
