Production
Julius Epstein said that the film "was originally a play written by Max Shulman, who sent it to me. Then, we sat down and made it from that into an original movie. But there we had a fight with the director, and he brought in a couple of writers and crapped up the ending, terribly so. I have mixed feelings about House Calls."
