As with most film biographies, this film is more screenwriter's fancy than fact. Among other things, Jeanne Eagels was never a carnival dancer and was never known to have been the cause of another performer's suicide. Further, the character of Sal Satori was a fictional compilation character based upon several men in her life.
Jeanne Eagels' family sued Columbia over the way Eagels was depicted in the movie.
Jeff Chandler was on loan to Columbia from Universal-International.
Final film of Helen Van Tuyl.
