Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Patricia Morison's first leading role after being fired from 'The Toast of New York'—the studio needed to recoup their investment.
The married woman plot danced around Production Code rules by making the husband 'unworthy' through jealousy and violence, a common Hays Office loophole.
