¿Sabías que...?
- CuriosidadesSir James M. Barrie's original play, which is a short piece of less than an hour in length, dates from 1912 and is set in a small rural boarding-house "far from London", where a famous actress has elaborately disguised herself as a dowdy middle-aged type in order to escape from adoring admirers and her frantic celebrity lifestyle in the metropolis. As this indicates, this movie adaptation is a very free one.
- PifiasCrux of plot hinges on efforts of a Broadway producer and playwright to find ideal actresses to star in a play about a troubled mother/daughter relationship. Yet when the pair attends a summer stock production of the play, large poster outside theatre only includes photos of actress playing daughter and two male co-stars - completely ignoring actress who plays crucial mother role that's been talked about throughout entire film.
- Citas
Clara Mootz aka Sally Carver: How many drinks have you had, Mr. Phillips?
E. Harry Phillips: Innumerable. And the fact that I can still say "innumerable" suggests that that's nowhere near enough!
- Créditos adicionalesIn the end credits, Pat Crowley is billed as "A future Paramount star".
- ConexionesReferenced in Discovering Film: William Holden (2015)
Reseña destacada
Sooner or later all actors appear in a dud
With a trio of hugely talented actors (Rogers, Holden and Douglas) and a script written by the Epstein Brothers (who wrote Casablanca) this viewer was expecting a delightful comedy. Alas, alas, alas, this is a clunker of monumental proportions with an AWFUL script (adapted from a play by J.M. Barrie -- who wrote Peter Pan) and painfully sluggish direction by Irving Rapper (who directed four of Better Davis' better movies). The script has the appearance of being thrown together beside a Hollywood swimming pool over a weekend with the minimum of thought or imagination. The characters' actions and motives are horribly unconvincing and do such a huge disservice to the three actors in the main roles. The ingenue role, played by Pat Crowley, who at the end of the movie is proudly proclaimed as a future Paramount star (ever heard of her, outside of television?) is endlessly irritating. Watching her act, this viewer couldn't help but think how much better the young Debbie Reynolds would have been in the role. Luckily for her, she was an MGM star and missed being saddled with this awful dreck. With undertones of All About Eve, a younger actress coveting a role played by an older actress, the story is leaden and dull in the extreme. Aside from consigning this one to the vaults and slamming the door shut FOREVER, one is left with such a feeling of sadness for so much dazzling talent so badly wasted.
