    • Trivia
      Strong similarities to the plot of The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946). Known in the UK as Marilyn.
    • Goofs
      The petrol pumps seen in the opening scene when Tom Price arrives at George Saunders' garage are a much older design than the ones seen from Tom's window when he looks over the forecourt,
    • Quotes

      Marilyn Saunders: Oh God, I've tried to put up with you, I've even tried to be a good wife, but you wouldn't have it would you? No I was just something you'd bought, one of your possessions. Well I've had enough do you hear me? I said I've had enough. I don't care if you die - yes, I wish you were dead!

    So bad it's not even funny
    Dreadful beyond comprehension. Sandra Dorne can barely act, Vida Hope can't act at all, and the often excellent (if usually typecast) Ferdie Mayne has been given terrible lines to work with. Leslie Dwyer is reliable as always, in possibly his nastiest part ever. The cinematography is muddy, and the editing clunky. The ending is meaningless. The only bright spot is the hilarious poster, which bears zero relationship to the plot.
