Edit
Trivia Executive producer Hunt Stromberg declared his dissatisfaction with the original opening sequence of Edgar G. Ulmer's own daughter Arianne Ulmer who played the young Jenny - she was purportedly not nasty enough - and so he and Hedy Lamarr enlisted Douglas Sirk to re-shoot the scenes using Jo Ann Marlowe who had appeared in Sirk's own A Scandal in Paris (1946) earlier that year, and who had also featured as Joan Crawford's daughter Kay in Michael Curtiz' Mildred Pierce (1945).
