Production

Edward Small bought the film rights to the book for $50,000 and believed that the story could provide an ideal vehicle for his new star Louis Hayward. Lenore Coffee, who wrote the script, said that Small "was a rather ignorant man, but he had inklings and hunches ... I liked him very much. He had a hunch about My Son, My Son! and he bought it. He had never bought an elegant story before."

Production of the film was temporarily halted with the outbreak of World War II.
