As was common at the time separate English- and French-language versions were released, both directed by Berger. The British version Early to Bed was co-produced with Gaumont British. The plot is very similar to the 1933 American film, Rafter Romance and it's 1937 remake, Living on Love, though these films are based on a 1932 novel also named "Rafter Romance".
Greta, a manicurist, and Hans, a waiter, share the same room which he uses in the day and she at night due to their different working hours. Although they have never met they strongly dislike the other. However, when they meet at last they fall in love with realising the identity of the other.
