Frank Capra wrote in his autobiography that the production was "shaped in the fires of discord and filmed in an atmosphere of pain, strain, and loathing."
According to the Bette Davis biography, "Fasten Your Seatbelts", the actress was furious when she read a Glenn Ford interview in which the actor claimed to have gotten her the part because of the boost she had given him years before in A Stolen Life (1946). Davis is quoted as saying, "Who is that son of a bitch that he should say he helped me have a comeback! That shitheel wouldn't have helped me out of a sewer!"
At one point, Apple Annie waves across the street to an unseen acquaintance called "Tallulah" who is opening in a play, an in-joke reference to Bette Davis' long-running feud with Tallulah Bankhead.
Shirley Jones signed to star, but Glenn Ford made Frank Capra replace Jones with his then girlfriend Hope Lange.
Frank Capra was disappointed with the final result, calling it a "miserable film". He was more than happy with Peter Falk's performance though, referring to it as "the one bright spark".

"Joy Boy: What's with her? Dave the Dude: Aah, she just wants a bunch of kids. Joy Boy: Kids? Aw, they're mean when they get on that kick."
