    • Trivia
      Sol Saks, creator of Verliebt in eine Hexe (1964), stated in an interview for Bewitched (1999) that he drew inspiration both from this film and Meine Braut ist übersinnlich (1958) in creating the iconic TV series. Columbia Pictures owned the rights to both of those movies. Since it also owned the television studio that was to produce "Bewitched," Saks didn't worry about getting sued.
    • Goofs
      (at around 15 mins) The movie is set in Massachusetts, but as they arrive at the hotel fire, a fire department car has the seal of the City of Los Angeles on the door.

    Veronica's Movie All the Way
    I have to say, I really enjoyed this film. Veronica Lake is funny and charming in a role that really showcases her skills as a comedienne- in my opinion, it's a shame she didn't get the chance to do more comedies, since film noir seems to be what she is best remembered for today.

    Frederic March, although I like him as an actor in other films, is somewhat miscast here. He simply seems too old for the part of Veronica's love interest. However, I suppose it doesn't really matter who played Wally in the film- make no mistake about it, this is Veronica Lake's film, all the way. She's the driving force behind the film, March is just along for the ride.

    The supporting cast is also great, especially Susan Hayward who is quite good as "the shrew." I also enjoyed seeing Elizabeth Patterson, Mrs. Trumball on "I Love Lucy", as March's long- suffering maid.
