Curiosidades
Puppets in the movie were designed and operated (except in long shots) by Jack Shafton, who is listed as the uncredited puppeteer. Additional manipulation was by Bob Hume. Two of the figures are in the collection of The Magic Castle in Hollywood, and one in the collection of the Dallas Puppet Theater.

Pifias
Although the movie is titled "Slander", there is no evidence that any of the characters were a victim of that crime, which refers to a malicious false statement. From the evidence, all of the stories, particularly that of the hero, presented in the scandal magazine were true.

Citas
H.R. Manley: Mother, do you realize what I have done? Do you have any conception of the size of my accomplishment? In less than two short years, I have built up the biggest newsstand circulation of any magazine in America. And you ask me to walk away from it because of a few stupid remarks on a television program?
Mrs. Manley: You don't really think it's really one TV program? Why, this has been going on for nearly two years... ever since you started the magazine. You have been constantly rebuffed... constantly attacked. And it makes me feel ashamed. I don't want to be ashamed of my son.
H.R. Manley: Mother, you have nothing to be ashamed of. I am giving the people of this country something they... something they not only want but something they need. I'm giving them the truth. Every month more than 5 million of them walk up to their newsstands. They're not bribed... they're not threatened. They come because they want what I have to sell.
Mrs. Manley: That same argument could be advanced by the people who sell opium to the Chinese persons.
H.R. Manley: The truth is not an opiate. The truth never really hurt anyone.
Mrs. Manley: It didn't do Governor Chetnam's daughter much good.
H.R. Manley: Governor Chetnam's daughter did not attempt suicide because of anything I said about her. She did it because neurotic, sick, weak people are always attempting to find an excuse to... to dramatize themselves in the eyes of the world. If she hadn't used me, she would have found another. Some day she will find another excuse. Will I be at fault then?
Mrs. Manley: I'm no prophet. I can't predict what will happen. But I do know what has happened.

A not-bad MGM "programmer"

A family friend obtained an invitation for my mother and me to visit Ann Blyth on the set during the making of this film. She was very gracious and I can recall being amazed at the mask-like makeup required for the lights and black-and-white cameras of the day. I couldn't see how she could move one of her facial muscles! The scene being shot involved Marjorie Rambeau coming to the door of the Martin family residence to, if I recall correctly, apologize for her son's depredations upon the career and reputation of Mr. Martin, played by Van Johnson. When I saw the completed film in a theater, I was surprised at how much emotional distress Ann was able to convey through that thick layer of William Tuttle's makeup. Miss Rambeau, by the way, was quite enjoying her return to the spotlight and, between takes, vastly amused the crew with her exclamations of appreciation for the little hand-held battery-operated fan that had been given her. Van Johnson was on the soundstage that day but was schmoozing in his dressing room/trailer with a production executive and didn't emerge once during that long afternoon. Both he and his co-star, Miss Blyth, were often underrated by critics and reviewers in their day, although TIME magazine gave this modestly budgeted production a good review, with praise for all the performers in the cast.
