Gail Russell's well documented nervousness in front of the camera is very apparent in this film; in almost every scene, she is wringing her hands, and often given some kind of prop - such as a cigarette, or piece of jewelry, or purse - to disguise the problem. She also disappears from the story for unusually long periods of time, especially considering the fact that she is the film's leading lady, and Ladd's apparent romantic interest, suggesting there were also other problems.
