Per director Vincent Sherman, the film was based on dancer-actress Ginger Rogers' relationship with her quintessential stage-mother, Lela E. Rogers.
Bette Davis was originally the first choice for the role of Helen Chernin but turned it down. Upon seeing the finished product, however, she mused, "How did I let that one get away?"
Although it has been claimed that longtime Warner contractee Monte Blue is not in the film, he is clearly visible in the final theatrical sequence sitting two seats to the left of Dennis Morgan.
At 34 minutes into the film, Ida Lupino stands in front of a movie poster for "Bordertown," a 1935 Warners release starring Bette Davis who turned down the role Lupino plays in this film.
As of May 2020, the TCM print of this film displays in the wrong aspect ratio. It's supposed to be 1.37:1, but appears much vertically thinner than that and round objects are distorted.
"The Morgan Twins: [in unison] Mr. Wade? We're playing in Jersey City. Can you catch our act? We're the Morgan Twins. Max Wade: When you're triplets, come back and see me."
"Paul Collins: You feel good, don't you? Don't you ever wake up at night and say to yourself, 'Maybe there's something just a little poisonous about me?' Mrs. Helen Chernen: Mind your business! Paul Collins: [With thinly disguised contempt] You know, in a queer, crazy kind of a way I admire you. I like to watch you work. It's like watching the manuveurs of the atlantic Fleet... and after you've done something particularly mean and nasty, I'd like to take you in my arms and kiss you. Mrs. Helen Chernen: [a little taken back] Hmmmp! That's a lovely unique. Is this the line you feed all those girls of yours? Paul Collins: [With slight sarcasm] No, seriously, you're marvelous... a regular machine... no heart, no blood, no feelings. [Helen's eyes begin to become more and more vulnerable as he continues] Paul Collins: I'll bet you never had a useless daydream in your life... never thought of a man. I'll bet you couldn't fall in love if you wanted to. [He takes her into his arms and kisses her] Mrs. Helen Chernen: [the kiss has obviously released a well of supressed passion] Oh, paul, Paul! You don't know! Paul Collins: But, darling, I do. I've known all along. Mrs. Helen Chernen: [Passionately] No, you don't. I know what you think about me. There are so many things, Paul, I can't explain. Paul Collins: [Turning cold] I tell you what, sweetheart... Mrs. Helen Chernen: [Vulnerably] What, Paul? Paul Collins: [Coldly calculated] Write me... write me in Duluth. [She slaps him, and he smiles with satisfaction]"
