It was during the production of this film that Marilyn Monroe met her future husband, Arthur Miller.
On December 10, 1950, Marilyn Monroe began her second contractual relationship with Twentieth Century Fox. (Their initial association had lasted one year, beginning August 26, 1946.) This movie, shot between December 15, 1950 and late January 1951, was Monroe's first assignment under the new contract.
After working with Marilyn Monroe in this movie, the unimpressed Constance Bennett wisecracked, "Now there's a broad with a future behind her!".
The Constance Bennett barb about Marilyn Monroe was not a put down, but a clever and witty quip in reference to the famous Monroe derriere.
Clifton Webb was the original choice to play John R. Hodges. His participation fell through and Monty Woolley was cast.
