TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

This film was an early starring role for Rock Hudson, and, according to Jane Wyman, he was very nervous. Some of his scenes had to be reshot thirty or forty times, but Wyman never said a word. Reportedly, years later at a party, Hudson ran into Wyman and said, "You were nice to me when you didn't have to be, and I want you to know that I thank you and love you for it."

Jeff Chandler turned down the role of Bob Merrick because he thought the story was too "soppy".

Jane Wyman was widely felt to look too old and unattractive for her character. Several critics complained it was not believable that Rock Hudson would have been interested in her.

Jane Wyman appears as herself and narrates the trailer.

Rock Hudson never knew that Jane Wyman had served as an FBI informer under the code name T-10, providing the names of actors within the motion picture industry whom she believed to be communist sympathizers.

Popular Dialogues

"Dr. Bob Merrick: [of a plan to do anonymous good works] Well, if it's as simple as all that, why, I'll certainly give it a chance. Edward Randolph: Now wait, Merrick! Don't try to use this unless you're ready for it! You can't just try this out for a week like a new car, you know! And if you think you can feather your own nest with it, just forget it. Besides, this is dangerous stuff. One of the first men who used it went to the Cross at the age of thirty-three..."
