The original Broadway production of "June Moon" by Ring Lardner and George S. Kaufman opened on October 9, 1929 at the Broadhurst Theater and ran for 273 performances.
One of over 700 Paramount Productions, filmed between 1929 and 1949, which were sold to MCA/Universal in 1958 for television distribution, and have been owned and controlled by Universal ever since. However, because of legal complications, this particular title was not included in the original television package and may not have ever been televised.
A line in the original play referencing Sophie Tucker was changed in the script to plug Clara Bow,one of the studio,s big stars at the time.
An announcement that the film's title was being changed from June Moon to The Boy Wonder was announced in the February 25, 1931, issue of Paramount Punch, but this decision appears to have been reversed when the film was actually released.
