Trivia

Producer Tom Lewis wanted Judy Garland for the leading role, but his wife Loretta Young also wanted it. She retained a lawyer who told him that he was discriminating against her because she was his wife. She got the part.

The film was shot in a very short period of time and rehearsed the same way that Loretta Young's television show, Letter to Loretta (1953), would be rehearsed several years later.

This is one of a handful of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer productions of the 1950-1951 period whose original copyrights were never renewed and are now apparently in Public Domain; for this reason, this title is now offered, often in very inferior copies, at bargain prices by numerous VHS and DVD distributors who do not normally handle copyrighted or Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer material.

This film failed at the box office, resulting in a loss to MGM of $174,000 according to studio records.

The letter George writes reads: "Bert Enley, District Attorney, Los Angeles 54, California. Dear Sir: My wife and close friend, who is also my physician, are planning to kill me. He was in love with her before I met her. It was seven years ago... An hour ago they tried again. When I refused the medicine she forced me. I asked her to get the doctor--she delayed. I told her not to get Dr. Grahame but she did. They had a long talk alone. I'm sure he told her what to do to bring on an attack."
