Best Music Scoring of a Dramatic or Comedy Picture | 1947

John Garfield's violin performances are played by two professional violinists standing on either side of him, one to bow and one to finger. The actual music was performed by Isaac Stern. In his autobiography, "My First 79 Years" (New York: Knopf, 1999; page 51), when the movie shows closeups of the hands alone playing the violin (without Garfield in the frame), those are Stern's hands.
John Garfield, a method actor, tried to get an emotional bond with the character Joan Crawford played by looking deeply in her eyes. This deeply unnerved Crawford, who told the director: "Tell him to stop looking at me!"
For the scene where Helen falls off the horse, Joan Crawford claims that she performed the stunt herself, and, relieved that it had gone well, she nevertheless was forced to do the stunt again when it was decided that Paul (John Garfield)'s rushing over and laying on top of her was too racy. It was re-shot, and instead, Helen lies on top of Paul. Crawford later remarked: "I couldn't really understand what was the difference, him on top of me or me on top of him. Well, the difference was I had to fall off the horse again. I did, and I lived to tell the tale." An HD freeze frame tells the truth: it was a stunt double who falls off the horse.
The famous beach scene at the end of the movie was recreated by Madonna in her 1998 music video "The Power of Good-Bye".
Oscar Levant, who played Sid Jeffers, was a celebrated pianist, and it is his piano playing that is on the soundtrack.
"Sid Jeffers: It isn't what you are, it's what you don't become that hurts. Idealism is a luxury for the very young."
"Sid Jeffers: Tell me, Mrs. Wright, does your husband interfere with your marriage?"
