Trivia

To prepare for her role, Weaving utilized her father - who has a PhD in film noir - as a resource. She also watched films from the 1940s and documentaries centered on women from that time period.

Goofs

Despite what this series purports, Henry Willson was never elevated to film producer. The closest he came was Rock Hudson, at the peak of his stardom, awarding Willson a token associate producer credit on Come September (1961).
