Anecdotes
Ella Fitzgerald's piano playing was ghosted by Cliff Smalls. Fitzgerald also recorded the songs "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You", "Misty", and "Who's Sorry Now", but they weren't used in the film. Fitzgerald's album of music from the film was unavailable for years but has since been issued on CD under the title "The Intimate Ella".

Gaffes
After begging Bobbie and her father to leave his apartment, Nick slams the door shut, making the wall shake.

Citations
Judge Bruce Mallory Sullivan: I was just thinking of the beauty and charm of life here on West Madison.
Wart: Yeah, you'll get used to it Judge, when you've been here as long as we have.
Judge Bruce Mallory Sullivan: Some place to bring up a boy. Deadbeats hanging round every corner. Hopheads, begging, borrowing, stealing to buy a few cc's of delirium.
Fran: Come on, Judge, don't do that.
Judge Bruce Mallory Sullivan: Nick won't have a chance. By the time he's twelve he'll have the soul of toadstool. Somebody has to tell her. Nellie needs help, if Nick's gonna make it.
Fran: Well, I will, I'll help.
Judge Bruce Mallory Sullivan: Why don't you all? I, I mean, why don't we...
Flora: What have we got to give a boy? Just our own miseries.
Judge Bruce Mallory Sullivan: Who knows more about miseries, Flora? Who knows more about life than you or Wart or me?
Wart: Yeah but what kind of a life?
Judge Bruce Mallory Sullivan: The kind of life we don't want Nick to have.
Goodbye George: Judge, you mean you want us all to, er, kind of adopt Nick?
Max: You know, he's right.
Wart: Maybe you got something.
Nellie Romano: Hey, are you all serious?
Judge Bruce Mallory Sullivan: Who else is there to help you, Nellie?
Wart: Are you for it, Nellie?
Nellie Romano: Yes, I am for it.
Judge Bruce Mallory Sullivan: A toast! A toast to the future of Nick Romano!

I Wish I Could find this little gem on DVD or Video!

I was pleasantly surprised by all of the comments on this film. I haven't seen it for many, many, years, probably 15 or more. However, I remember it well and had believed for a long time that I was the only one who knew of it's existence. *laughing* This is one of my favorite Shelley Winters movies. And of course Miss Ella Fitzgerald was an added treat. I first saw it when I was about 15 (mid-1970s), so you can imagine what an impact it had on me. I'd had a crush on James Darren from his role in the television series "The Time Tunnel". I wish I could find it on video or DVD somewhere; but that's unlikely. I was just looking over the credits and saw a couple of familiar names; Bernie Hamilton(who starred in a lot of the so-called Blaxploitation films of the seventies) and Jeanne Cooper,whom I adored in the seventies as Mrs. Chancellor in the popular soap, "The Young and the Restless". Try as I might, I cannot remember them in the film. Which is why it is a must I see it again! *Laughing* I'll be armed with "TVio" and "VCR" the next time it makes it's appearance on cable....TCM are you listening???!! Miss "P"
