Wissenswertes
As the start of production neared, Ava Gardner got cold feet about co-starring with Clark Gable, whom she had idolized since childhood. Arthur Hornblow asked Gable to call her, and he told her: "I'm supposed to talk you into doing this thing. But I'm not going to. I hated it when they did that to me. But I hope you change your mind, kid, I think it would be fun to work together." The two remained friends for life.

When Vic and Kay are lying on the beach at night, the background of the sea is a still shot; the waves stay fixed during the entire scene.

Zitate
Tie Sales Clerk: Anything?
Victor Albee Norman: I want a very sincere necktie.
Tie Sales Clerk: I beg your pardon?
Victor Albee Norman: I want something that makes me seem sincere. You know, honest; genuine; upright; trustworthy.
Tie Sales Clerk: Well... um, here's a handpainted one in four colors; at thirty-five dollars. Is that sincere enough?
Victor Albee Norman: I think, my friend, any more sincerity would be downright foolhardy.

"If you read those jokes one more time I'll kill myself!"

This is all about getting advertising business up to your neck and getting fed up with it, and this was even before the television commercials took over the field and drowning it in rot, which it has been doing ever since. There are excellent actors and splendid wit and dialog all the way that keeps moving on a constant race, so as an entertainment this is an ace of a film. Deborah Kerr and Ava Gardner are both relatively young here and doing their very best for their adorable Clark Gable, who is always good and never made a bad film. To this comes Adolphe Menjou, Edward Arnold and Sydney Greenstreet to cap it all as the established monster of commercialism. It is both a comedy, satire and romance, the direction is splendid as is the music, so there is nothing missing. The problem remains today and is more abhorrently omnipresent than ever in all society, so even such a brilliant film as this did not help no matter how much it made a full hit at the problem.
