Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

This was intended as a pilot for a TV series that never happened—ABC was apparently not ready for weekly Bette Davis supervillainy.

Cultural

Made during Davis's 'whatever pays the bills' era, this represents peak 'legend slumming it with commitment' energy that only old Hollywood royalty could pull off.
