The role of Coral Chandler was originally intended for Rita Hayworth, but she already had been cast by her estranged husband, Orson Welles for the role of Elsa in The Lady from Shanghai (1947). Also, according to Ben Mankiewicz's introduction to this movie on TCM, Ms. Hayworth was engaged in a contract dispute with the studio at the time, and refused the role.
In the train, after they discover that Drake is to receive the Medal of Honor, Murdock quips that maybe the president will let Drake "sit on top of his piano". This is a reference to a then-scandalous photo of Harry S. Truman playing piano with a leggy blonde on top that was taken at the National Press Club in 1945. The blonde was Lauren Bacall, later the wife of Humphrey Bogart.
Lizabeth Scott's singing was dubbed by Trudy Stevens.
Humphrey Bogart was borrowed from Warner Bros. for this film. This annoyed him because in addition to his regular contract fee, Columbia paid Warner Bros. extra for the loan-out of one of its biggest stars.
Humphrey Bogart and Lizabeth Scott were parodied in Woody Allen's film Play It Again, Sam (1972).
"Rip Murdock: You know, the trouble with women is they ask too many questions. They should spend all their time just being beautiful. Coral Chandler: And let the men do the worrying. Rip Murdock: Yeah. You know, I've been thinking: women ought to come capsule-sized, about four inches high. When a man goes out of an evening, he just puts her in his pocket and takes her along with him, and that way he knows exactly where she is. He gets to his favorite restaurant, he puts her on the table and lets her run around among the coffee cups while he swaps a few lies with his pals... Coral Chandler: Why... Rip Murdock: Without danger of interruption. And when it comes that time of the evening when he wants her full-sized and beautiful, he just waves his hand and there she is, full-sized. Coral Chandler: Why, that's the most conceited statement I've ever heard. Rip Murdock: But if she starts to interrupt, he just shrinks her back to pocket-size and puts her away. Coral Chandler: I understand. What you're saying is: women are made to be loved. Rip Murdock: Is THAT what I'm saying? Coral Chandler: Yes, it's a confession. A woman may drive you out of your mind, but you wouldn't trust her, and because you couldn't put her in your pocket, you get all mixed up."
"Rip Murdock: You know, you do awful good. I came here to - but go ahead. Put Christmas in your eyes and keep your voice low. Tell me about paradise and all the things I'm missing. I haven't had a good laugh since before Johnny was murdered."
