In an interview with Tom Weaver, Jean Porter said the film was "directed by Dick Powell, and he wasn't given director credit. Dick gave Robert Parrish the director's credit, but Dick did all the directing."
Richard Erdman's car is a uni-body two-door 1950 Nash Statesman 600 (which features the oddball one-year-only "uniscope" instrument pod). According to TCM's Eddie Muller the car actually belonged to Jean Porter (Darlene), being a gift from her husband Edward Dmytryk. When Jean drove the car on the set, director Robert Parrish thought it would be perfect for Erdman's character.
This is one of Rhonda Fleming's personal favorite films despite it being associated with some bad memories for her. First, filming was delayed a week when she, on loan from David O. Selznick, had to undergo an emergency appendectomy. Later, after the film opened in San Francisco, her father, who lived there, died suddenly. She skipped the screening and for a long time afterward couldn't bear to watch the film because of the memories it stirred up. When she finally did see it, she loved it.
When Rocky (Dick Powell) first encounters Williams (Jay Adler), Williams is singing and strumming a ukulele. Rocky interrupts him and addresses him as "Godfrey," a reference to Arthur Godfrey, a popular performer and TV host who had his own show at the time, Arthur Godfrey and His Ukulele (1950).
The film underwent restoration by the UCLA Film and Television Archive. To accomplish the restoration, they used two 35mm acetate composite master positives. A restored print was premiered in 2011.
