Robert Montgomery notes that his annual salary as an advertising executive in 1932 is $20,000, a significant amount at that time. When adjusted for inflation, his salary is equal to $324,000 in 2016.
Tallulah Bankhead was on loan to MGM from Paramount, where she had just come off five box office flops in a row. This would be her last film until Stage Door Canteen (1943). She focused on stage plays instead. In 1933, while performing in Jezebel, Bankhead nearly died following a five-hour emergency hysterectomy due to gonorrhea, which she claimed she had contracted from George Raft. Weighing only 70 lb (32 kg) when she left the hospital, she vowed to continue her notoriously promiscuous party lifestyle of drugs and sex with men and women, stoically saying to her doctor "Don't think this has taught me a lesson!"
Carol, portrayed by Tallulah Bankhead, states that she is 24 years old, but Tallulah was actually 30 when this was filmed.
This film was first telecast in Chicago Thursday 24 January 1957 on WBBM (Channel 2), followed by Omaha 15 February 1957 on WOW (Channel 6), by Norfolk VA 1 May 1957 on WTAR (Channel 3), by Minneapolis 25 May 1957 on KMGM (Channel 9) , by Albuquerque 28 May 1957 on KOAT (Channel 7), by Philadelphia 7 October 1957 on WFIL (Channel 6), by Miami 11 November 1957 on WCKT (Channel 7), by Seattle 22 November 1957 on KING (Channel 5) and in Portland OR 15 December 1957 on KGW (Channel 8) ; in San Francisco it found itself in the unhappy situation of being broadcast on the morning of 22 November 1963 on KGO (Channel 7), repeatedly, and sadly, but understandably, interrupted by the latest news updates from Dallas. In New York City and Los Angeles this title would have been included in the MGM film library then under the control of WCBS (Channel 2) and KTTV (Channel 11), respectively, but there is no reliable documentation that it was ever televised at this time in either of these major markets, most likely because of sponsors resistance to its age and the severely pre-code aspects of its basic story.
