Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Robert Sterling's first leading role after years as a contract player in bits; MGM was testing if he could carry a picture. (He mostly could.)
The 'working for the father-in-law' premise was a genuine post-war anxiety—1942 audiences absolutely felt Lee's specific humiliation.
