TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

According to Wade Williams in Biography: Alice Faye: The Star Next Door (1996), when Alice Faye saw a rough cut of the film and realized that Otto Preminger's editing had diminished the impact of her performance in favor of newcomer Linda Darnell, she got up from the screening, drove off the 20th Century Fox lot, threw her dressing room key to the security guard and vowed never to work for the studio again.

Alice Faye read and rejected over thirty scripts before accepting this movie, which she hoped to be another Laura (1944). The actress' best scenes were cut and the film ended her long-term association with Fox.

Linda Darnell spent a week working as a waitress in the Fox commissary to prepare her for her role.

Otto Preminger used much of the crew from Laura (1944) on this film, which was made one year earlier.

Alice Faye's rendition of "Slowly" (music by David Raksin, lyrics by Kermit Goell) is part of a deleted scene in which she is being driven to the beach by Dana Andrews. In the release print, the ballad is sung several times on the juke box by Dick Haymes, as waitress Linda Darnell works behind the counter. Dick's 1945 Decca recording is featured on a 2003 CD box set from the British label Jasmine, entitled "The Golden Years of Dick Haymes."

Popular Dialogues

"June Mills: I need you, Eric. Eric Stanton: [sarcastically] You need me, right. June Mills: You're my husband, and I'm your wife. Eric Stanton: Right out of a book, again. June Mills: Yes, out of a book: "We were born to tread the earth as angels, to seek out heaven this side of the sky. But they who race above shall stumble in the dark, and fall from grace." Eric Stanton: Go on. Sounds good. June Mills: "Then love alone can make the fallen angel rise. For only two together can enter Paradise.""

"June Mills: [last lines, June is sitting in a car outside the diner] Eric. [Eric looks over to June, she motions him to get into the car, he does] June Mills: Where to? Eric Stanton: [Eric nestles up to his wife] Home. [They drive off into the night]"
