It is the second film adaptation (the first was in 1935) of the 1934 play Escape Me Never by Margaret Kennedy, which was based on her 1930 novel The Fool of the Family. That book was a continuation of her story of the fictional Sanger family of musical geniuses introduced in The Constant Nymph, but there is a disjunct among the books and the films: The Sanger brothers are never mentioned in the 1943 film of The Constant Nymph, and their names are changed in this picture.
