The role of Anthony John was originally written for Laurence Olivier who was unavailable when the film finally went into production.
After shooting wrapped George Cukor presented Shelley Winters with a bust of Ronald Colman. The novice actress responded by giving him a box of pills for stomach cramps and heartburn.
Shelley Winters was initially known professionally as Shelley Winter. Universal-International added the S to her last name when they billed her in the film.
As a nervous seventeen year-old Shelley Winters read for the part of Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind (1939) with her Brooklyn accent. George Cukor chased everyone out of his office, sent for two cokes, and advised her to go to college and visit public places to see how ordinary people walked and talked. It wasn't until after he had cast her in this film that he realized who she was.
This was the first of five collaborations between George Cukor and the husband-and-wife writing team of Garson Kanin and Ruth Gordon between 1947 and 1980.
