Production
The writers listened to the young actresses talking and joking off set during rehearsals and incorporated their style of talking into the film. Director Gregory La Cava also allowed the actresses to ad lib during filming. The film received very good reviews and was a moderate success at the box office. Prior to this film, Hepburn's last four movies had failed commercially and as a result of the positive response to her performance in Stage Door, RKO immediately cast Hepburn opposite Cary Grant in the screwball classic comedy Bringing Up Baby.
