Wissenswertes
MGM arranged that the world premiere at the Lowe's Capitol Theatre in Washington, DC in September, 1942 would be a War Bond drive, with better seats going to those that bought more bonds. The effort raised $1,822,675 ($27.24M in 2017).

Patzer
When Stella goes to see Elliot at the Muntions Building, the view from his office window is of the Capitol Building and it is very close. This is not remotely possible. The Muntions Building was built on Constitution Avenue on the Mall between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument--roughly where the Vietnam Memorial now stands. In addition, the similar Main Navy Building stood between the Muntions Building and the Capitol.

Zitate

wartime propaganda

In Washington, D. C., wealthy widow Mrs. Stella Hadley (Fay Bainter) is throwing herself a birthday party. It's Dec 7, 1941. Pearl Habor happens and everyone rushes off to their duty. Stella refuses to let the war interfere with her life. She demands that her son Ted return home for the Christmas holidays, war or no war. Instead, he is going to the front. Her daughter Pat starts dating soldier Mike.

This is war propaganda, pure and simple. Mrs. Hadley is certainly a specific role during that time. It's interesting that she's clueless rather than being callous. It allows for a little bit of humor and also her later character growth. It's wartime.
