Selznick's experience of trying to have life-saving serum flown in for his critically ill brother was the basis for the flying sequences towards the end of the movie. It was filmed in California at Ruess Ranch, Triunfo Creek, and at Culver Studios, 9336 W. Washington Blvd, Culver City. The liner shown at the beginning of the film, and when John and Jane try to go on their honeymoon in Europe, is the SS Normandie. Special effects technician Edmund E. Fellegi was killed when he fell from a 40-foot catwalk while releasing balloons for the New Year's Eve party scenes. Seven actors listed in the records for this movie were not seen in the final print. They are (with their character names) Jack Mulhall (Rock Springs Radio Operator), Arthur Gardner (Iowa City Radio Operator), John M. Sullivan (Johns Hopkins Chemist), John Austin (Allentown Radio Operator), and the three doctors, Robert Strange, Perry Ivins and Gladden James. Frank S. Nugent of The New York Times called the film "thoroughly delightful". The film flopped at the box office, resulting in a loss of $292,000 ($5.1 million in 2017) for Selznick International Pictures, according to studio records. It is now in the public domain in the United States; Disney owns the original film negative. Notes "Lux Radio Theater" broadcast two 60-minute radio adaptations of the movie: on February 19, 1940, with Carole Lombard reprising her film role (episode 251), and on December 17, 1945, with James Stewart reprising his film role (episode 506). The film was re-edited into a short film by Jeff Baena for the "Familiesgiving" episode of the Showtime comedy anthology series Cinema Toast in 2021. The characters played by Lombard, Stewart, Charles Coburn, and Lucile Watson were dubbed by Alison Brie, John Reynolds, Nick Offerman, and Megan Mullally, respectively. A clip of this movie is used in Foreigner's music video, "I Don't Want To Live Without You". In Die in a Gunfight 2021, Wayne (Travis Fimmel) watches 'Made for Each Other' 1939 when a killer tries to assassinate him. He prevents the attack and brutally punches the attacker, screaming that he ruined his favorite moment in his favorite movie.
