Crimson Romance (1934) was only allotted a short period of time for new scenes to be shot, resulting in a frenzied production schedule. Ben Lyon was constantly on demand for filming and complained that the production company wanted a "limousine for the price of a Model T." Due to the sunrise-to-sunset working hours, the crew began to call the film, the "Candlelight Service."
According to modern sources, Erich von Stroheim also acted as a technical adviser on this production. In a modern interview, von Stroheim describes his participation in the production: "For the first time in my long career, I just acted like an automaton in order to bring home the shekels---and there were very few at that!"
One unusual scene in Crimson Romance (1934) blended together footage of Ben Lyon in a British fighter bearing down on a German bomber. The scene showing the bomber was from Hell's Angels (1930). Lyon was also in the German aircraft, with the improbable scenario of Lyon shooting himself down.
