Trivia According to Wade Williams in Alice Faye: The Star Next Door (1996), when Alice Faye saw a rough cut of the film and realized that Otto Preminger's editing had diminished the impact of her performance in favor of newcomer Linda Darnell, she got up from the screening, drove off the 20th Century Fox lot, threw her dressing room key to the security guard and vowed never to work for the studio again.

Goofs Among the works listed on the church reader board for June Mills's upcoming organ recital are a "Stabat Mater" by Beethoven and a "Requiem" by Brahms. Beethoven never wrote a 'Stabat Mater', and the only 'Requiem' by Brahms is a massive choral work, highly unlikely to be played as an organ solo. See more »

Quotes June Mills: I need you, Eric.
Eric Stanton: [sarcastically] You need me, right.
June Mills: You're my husband, and I'm your wife.
Eric Stanton: Right out of a book, again.
June Mills: Yes, out of a book: "We were born to tread the earth as angels, to seek out heaven this side of the sky. But they who race above shall stumble in the dark, and fall from grace."
Eric Stanton: Go on. Sounds good.
June Mills: "Then love alone can make the fallen angel rise. For only two together can enter Paradise."
