According to the credited screenwriter, Frederica Sagor, 'Dance Madness' was "patently a rewrite" of 'The Guardsman', a work by Ferenc Molnr that was later directly adapted for film. Sagor notes the screenplay was not written by her, but by Alice D. G. Miller, and she only provided script rewrites.
