According to contemporary articles in the entertainment press, filming began with Russell Nype playing Maxwell Webster. Nype was fired after he disagreed with director Mitchell Leisen on how the character was to be portrayed. Glenn Ford was brought in to replace Nype and two weeks of filming had to be re-shot. This was to be Nype's feature film debut. He returned to Broadway and would not make a feature film until 18 years later with Love Story (1970).
The $85,000 verdict that is celebrated would equal $810,000 in 2018.
This film bombed at the box office, resulting in a loss of $754,000 ($7.2M in 2018) for MGM according to studio records.
Maxwell comes home to his family after a hard day at work. He knows that he and wife Julie are invited to the country club that evening for dinner. Instead of calling and telling her, he chooses not to tell his wife until he walks through their front door when she has a roast already in the oven. It is obvious that they have a phone, because she has to call a baby sitter.
