Anecdotes
Davis' 3 year-old daughter Barbara (Always called, "B.D.") makes her debut in the first of her 2 film roles, as Joyce's daughter as a young girl. (The other was the neighbor's daughter in Qu'est-il arrivé à Baby Jane? (1962)).

Gaffes
When Joyce meets with Mr. Prescott, he is smoking a cigarette. When he moves to the front of his desk, he offers Joyce one and lights one for himself! You can actually see his first cigarette still smoking behind him.

Citations
Mrs. Edna Blanton: It's a man's world. They get everything out of it. I've told Fred hundreds of times, I'd never divorce him. No matter what he did, he couldn't make me divorce him. I'm his wife till death do us part - and I'm very healthy!

Nearly forgotten Bette Davis soaper...

Bette Davis works her usual magic with a colorless role as a wealthy society matron whose miserable husband wants her to give him a divorce. Film's best moments are the flashbacks to the couple's happier times, which are filmed in a dreamy, surreal manner. Jane Cowl gives an outstanding supporting performance as an elderly woman attracted to gigolos, but the centerpiece here is Davis, and she's magnetic as always. Filmed just before "All About Eve"--but released afterward--the picture benefits greatly from the shadowy cinematography, but the pacing plods a bit. Not a bad melodrama, but one that is never mentioned when film-historians revisit Davis' illustrious career. ** from ****
