Production
One Rainy Afternoon was the first of a small number of United Artists sound films which were produced by its vice-president, Mary Pickford, and the first film for Pickford-Lasky Productions. This film also marked Francis Lederer's first starring role for the studio.
United Artists ran an advertisement in the Hollywood Reporter with "thank-you's" to executives from other studios who allowed their stars to appear in One Rainy Afternoon. The ad states: "We are returning these artists to you with increased box office value."
The film began production in early January 1936. It was released on 13 May of that year, and re-released in January 1948. The film was made for an estimated $511,383, and grossed $603,903 worldwide.
