It was produced by Pioneer Pictures as an experiment to demonstrate how the new process could not only render bright natural hues like flesh or flowers, but also the subtle tones of twilight or late night. Color designer Robert Edmond Jones uses his vivid palette with great expressionistic impact. The success of \u003ci\u003eLa Cucaracha\u003c\/i\u003e resulted in Pioneer utilizing Technicolor in a full-length feature, \u003ci\u003eBecky Sharpe\u003c\/i\u003e (1935).\u003cp\u003eDirector Lloyd Corrigan was also a successful screenwriter (\u003ci\u003eThe Mysterious Doctor Fu Manchu\u003c\/i\u003e, 1929) but in 1938 devoted himself exclusively to acting.
