Wissenswertes
Robert Montgomery patterned his portrayal of a ruthless Broadway producer who lets nothing stand in the way of getting what he wants after Jed Harris, a noted Broadway impresario who had the same reputation.

Patzer
John Payne and Susan Hayward are swimming. At 43:11, they swim towards Robert Montgomery's yacht. When they board, at 43:45, Robert Montgomery asks John Payne about the new third act of the play. John pats the pocket of his robe and says he has it. The robe could have been borrowed but where did the script come from? They hadn't been aboard it to this point. (Actually, Eric (Payne) is being sarcastic when he says he has it with him, even in his robe after just swimming.)

Zitate
Matt Saxon: [Matt is coaching Alma on singing "I'm In The Mood For Love"] Has this thing got a verse?
Alma Wragg: Oh, Matt, no one sings verses anymore. That's old fashioned.
Matt Saxon: Nothing that is good and has a purpose is old fashioned.

No charm there

Robert Montgomery stars as a ruthless producer, based on real-life producer Jed Harris, in That Saxon Charm from 1948.

First some trivia: Everyone loathed Jed Harris. Laurence Olivier based his physical appearance in Richard III on him. Allegedly Disney based the Big Bad Wolf's look on him. Who knows, but Richard III and the Wolf look alike.

John Payne portrays a playwright who becomes involved with Saxon (Montgomery), a very controlling individual who insists on rewrites and interrupting time with his wife Janet (Susan Hayward). Janet has already been warned about Saxon by his longtime girlfriend, portrayed by Audrey Totter. Meanwhile, as great a producer as he might have been, there are signs that he has lost his touch.

Nice, different performance by Susan Hayward as a loving wife, well played without the histrionics she was known for.

Many best friend worked for Elizabeth Montgomery's manager and knew her very well. I got the impression Saxon may not have been that much of a stretch.

Harry Morgan and Cara Williams, before they starred in Pete and Gladys, also appear.
