A 1933 independent movie from KBS Productions, released through World Wide Pictures, which went belly-up due to the Depression while the film was still in release. The rights were then picked up by Fox, and in 1938 Atlantic Pictures picked it up and retitled it Hell in a Circus. It appears the only extant prints are of the 1938 reissue.

According to the New York Times, February 12, 1933, Recklessness was the basis of a film first titled Auction in Souls. In a letter to Robert Sisk, dated July 4, 1932, O’Neill reported that he received $5000 for the rights to the play. To Sisk in March, 1933, he refers to The Constant Woman, noting that this title is not so senseless as the other. The film was produced by World Wide and released in May, 1933.
