Bette Davis thought Joseph Cotten was all wrong for the role of her husband, saying: "He's adorable. What in the world would she leave him for?"
Bette Davis was so unhappy over being cast in this film that she threatened Warner Bros. studio chief Jack L. Warner that she would walk off the production with the picture only half finished. Warner was forced to cancel her contract and Davis completed the film, ending 18 years with the studio.
The movie's line "What a dump." was voted as the #62 movie quote by the American Film Institute (out of 100).
This film is listed among The 100 Most Enjoyably Bad Movies Ever Made in Golden Raspberry Award founder John Wilson's book "The Official Razzie® Movie Guide."
Is referenced in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" when Martha repeatedly asks George for the name of the movie where Bette Davis says, "What a dump!"
