[edit] Background

Remade as Love in the Rough in 1930.

Spring Fever was a great success despite some critical misgivings about the film itself. Variety noted “Haines is a likable personality and should travel far. This picture, however, will not help him much. The players do well all around and Ralph Spence’s titles contribute effectively on the comedy end, but the director, Sedgwick, could not cope with a weak theme.”
