    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Bette Davis fell in love with her co-star Gary Merrill during the shoot of this movie, and the two married in July 1950, a few weeks after filming was completed. They adopted a baby girl, whom they named Margot.
    • Goofs
      About 45 minutes into the film, Margo and Bill are having an argument about Eve before his birthday party. Margo angrily folds her arms across her chest and her diamond bracelet clasp breaks and dangles against her dress. It isn't part of the story. It is fixed in the next frame.
    • Quotes
      • Margo: Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night!
    • Crazy credits
      The film opens straightaway with its own theme, without the ubiquitous "Fox Fanfare".
    • Connections
      Edited into Myra Breckinridge (1970)
    • Soundtracks
      Liebestraum
      (uncredited)
      Music by Franz Liszt
      [Played on the piano at the party when Margo is sitting with the pianist; also heard on the car radio]
