Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Joan Bennett dyed her signature brunette hair blonde for this role to distance herself from her sister Constance's similar image. It didn't stick.
This was Bennett's last pure comedy before she pivoted to noir femme fatales—Scarlet Street was just three years away. Wild career whiplash.
