TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Craggy-faced Ernest Borgnine was 39 when this film came out, only 15 years older than his film daughter Debbie Reynolds, who was 24. His wife in the film, Bette Davis, was 48.

Rod Taylor's first film after signing a long-term contract with MGM.

This film did not do well at the box office for MGM, losing $106,000 ($935,000 in 2017) at the box office according to studio records.

One of Bette Davis' all-time favorite parts.

The $8,000 for the New York City taxi medallion would equate to $70,600 in 2017. In 2017 the cost of a medallion is at around $500,000. In 2013 it had reached $1M. The cost is falling due to the rise of services such as Uber and Lyft.

Popular Dialogues

"Agnes Hurley: You're going to have a big wedding whether you like it or not! And if you don't like it, you don't have to come!"

"Agnes Hurley: The only reason he married me was that my father, God rest his soul, met him one day at the union hall. They was both house painters, ya know. And he said, "Hurley, I'll give ya $300 if you'll marry my daughter." And he said he would, and he did. Jane Hurley: I never heard that story, Ma. Agnes Hurley: Oh, sure, sure. 'Course I'm exaggeratin' a little, but... but that's the gist of it."
