Trivia:
Claude Rains initially turned down the Jaquith role, finding it too insubstantial. The part was built up for him and he was paid $5000 a week for six weeks' work.

Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Jerry (Paul Henreid) introduces Charlotte (Bette Davis) as 'Camille' to his friends on the cruise line. Later, when the foursome take a break from shuffleboard and the two women retire to deck chairs, Deb McIntyre (Lee Patrick) calls her Charlotte.

After seeing this great film, I realized that not every mother wants the best for her children.
Gladys Cooper gave a brilliant performance as the outrageously domineering mother. Her best supporting actress nomination was well deserved. It's a pity she lost the coveted award to Teresa Wright, the tragic daughter-in-law in "Mrs. Miniver." Obviously, Oscar voters could not bring themselves to vote for such a wicked mother that Cooper portrayed. (The following year Cooper gave another brilliant performance as the wretched nun in "Song of Bernadette." She lost the Oscar because who would vote for a vicious nun?)
No words are adequate to describe the outstanding Bette Davis performance in this film. Sorry, Greer Garson, Bette deserved this Oscar as she did so many. Her change from a hopelessly-drawn spinster to a ravishing beauty with all its torment can never be forgotten.
Thank you Claude Rains for your excellent portrayal of the psychiatrist.
