Production

Donald Henderson Clarke finished his novel Millie during summer 1930. The novel was first offered to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, who passed on it due to its racy content. In August of that year, it was reported that Charles R. Rogers had purchased the film rights to the novel, and had signed Charles Kenyon to adapt it into a screenplay, as well as selecting John Francis Dillon to direct.

In January, RKO announced the film would be released in February, and it was released on February 8, 1931.
