Production

The director originally slated to do the film was Archie Mayo, and then a second director, before Ray Enright got the job a week before filming began. Some early casting considerations had Ruth Donnelly playing Mathilda instead of ZaSu Pitts, and Hobart Cavanaugh as Ellsworthy Todd. At one point, it was suggested that Eleanor Powell do a specialty number, but she declined to do so.

Dames began production at the Warner Bros. studios in Burbank, California on March 28, 1934. Ray Enright completed the dramatic scenes in mid-April of that year, and Busby Berkeley continued working on the musical numbers until July 3. The film had its premiere on August 16, 1934, and went into general release on September 1 of that year.
