After the expensive flop of Arch of Triumph bankrupted Enterprise Productions, a film which United Artists called "probably the greatest commercial failure in the history of motion pictures", No Minor Vices was conceived as a means to keep Enterprise going until all possible revenues could be gotten from Arch of Triumph. No Minor Vices kept Enterprise alive as a company, but money was tight.{{cite book ==Box office==

The film was a box office flop. According to MGM records it earned $479,000 in the US and Canada and $164,000 overseas. ==Critical response==

The New York Times praised the film, writing that it was a "brand of frivolous spoofing that is very rare on the screen—so rare, indeed, that it is difficult even to understand." They refer to the film as "cubist humor" that spoofs in the manner of Gertrude Stein, making a "very original film". They further offered that the film was directed by Lewis Milestone for the defunct Enterprise Productions, and that the three main stars are good as they play their roles "in the grand and sweeping style." ==Awards and nominations==
