    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      This film was a huge box office failure, bringing in less than half the cost of production and promotion. It was Bette Davis's biggest flop at Warner Bros. and came after Deception (1946), another money-loser for the studio, causing Jack L. Warner to lose faith in Davis's box office appeal.
    • Goofs
      When Stacey goes to Susan's apartment at the beginning of the film, he takes off a light-colored scarf. When he goes to leave, he puts on a much different and dark-colored scarf.
    • Quotes
      • Stacy Grant: [to Peggy] Let me give you a piece of advice, culled from years of devestating experience. Next to loss of money, deafness, and skin disease, passion can be the most dangerous.
