Trivia
One of the photos in producer Ricardo Cortez's office is that of character comedian Edward Everett Horton.

Goofs
Damon says he played Rastignac in a performance of the play La Fille du Regiment. This is an opera, and there is no character of that name in it. Rastignac is a character in the novels of Balzac.

Quotes
Damon Welles: Well, a new groupie.

Family ties

A talented actress returns triumphantly to the stage after a three-year break. However, her family and friends are shocked when her long lost husband with a criminal past, believed to be dead, turns up and casts his influence over her.

Decent drama starring Edward G. Robinson as the actress's brother with Louis Calhern playing the controlling husband. The main downside is the performance by Mary Astor who instantly becomes an obedient robot once her husband appears.
