Trivia

Billy Wilder (the co-writer and director of the original version) and Barbara Stanwyck (who play Phyllis in the original version) both saw the film in their respective homes when it broadcast. When it was over, Wilder immediately phoned Stanwyck, simply said, "Missy, they just didn't get it right," and hung up. See more »
