TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Humphrey Bogart was involved in a serious automobile accident during production of this film, which knocked out several of his teeth and hindered his ability to speak. John Huston reportedly hired a young British actor noted for his mimicry skills to rerecord some of Bogart's spoken lines during post-production looping. Although it is undetectable when viewing the film today, it is Peter Sellers who provides Bogart's voice during some of the scenes in this movie. However this cannot be confirmed.

Stephen Sondheim got his start in films working as a clapper boy on this film.

This was the fifth and last movie that Humphrey Bogart would make with Peter Lorre. The other four were, The Maltese Falcon (1941), Casablanca (1942), All Through the Night (1942), and Passage to Marseille (1944).

John Huston suggested to Humphrey Bogart, that Lauren Bacall might play his wife. "I read your insidious and immoral proposals to my wife," Bogie wrote to Huston in mock anger. "I have instructed Miss Bacall to disregard your blandishment . . . ." Anyway, she was busy shooting How to Marry a Millionaire (1953).

Humphrey Bogart described Gina Lollobrigida as "the most woman I've seen for a long time--makes Marilyn Monroe look like Shirley Temple."

"Julius O'Hara: Time. Time. What is time? Swiss manufacture it. French hoard it. Italians squander it. Americans say it is money. Hindus say it does not exist. Do you know what I say? I say time is a crook."

"Peterson: You mean Mrs. Chelm is an unqualified liar? Billy Dannreuther: Well, let's say she uses her imagination rather than her memory."
