Trivia	Although Jane Wyman had no trouble faking the fingering of a dummy violin, Olivia de Havilland had to have someone do it for her. De Havilland was forced to do this picture under threat of suspension from the studio and had no patience in learning the technique. In all her close-ups, the arm doing the fingering belonged to a professional hidden from view, or the fingers were hidden from view. She controlled only the bow. See more »
Goofs	When Amelia throws the book through the glass door, it breaks out only the top part of the glass. But, when she leaves the office, only the center part is broken out, before she slams the door and breaks the rest. See more »

Quotes	Anthony 'Tony' Baldwin: Amelia, you said if I came to you on my knees. [Kneels] Anthony 'Tony' Baldwin: I want to kiss you. Won't you let me get up off my knees? Amelia Cornell: I guess you'll have to because I'll be darned if get down on mine. See more »
