Did You Know?
| Trivia | Two years after the release of Snowed Under, Genevieve Tobin married Warner Brothers contract director William Keighley. She'd been directed by him in Easy to Love (1934) and would work with him again on Yes, My Darling Daughter (1939) and No Time for Comedy (1940) --- her final film. She retired from the screen at age 41, stayed married to Keighley until his death in 1984, and lived herself until 1995. See more » |
| Goofs | The bench warrant calls for Alan's arrest for not appearing in court on a date which, as typed in the judge's order, was a Sunday. No court would schedule a domestic civil case hearing on a Sunday. See more » |

| Quotes |
Pat Quinn:
Last summer you wouldn't have turned me out in the snow. Alan Tanner: Last summer there wasn't any snow. You were just a little girl who's father rented my house and I was trying to be a rather pleasant country landlord. Pat Quinn: And now? Alan Tanner: And now - is the winter of our discontent. Scram, my love. See more » |
