Production notes
At the time the movie was released, it was recognized as being loosely based on the 1932 Libby Holman-Zachary Smith Reynolds case. According to Jeanne Scheper, other films inspired by "this episode of Holman's life include [...] Reckless (dir. Victor Fleming, 1935), with Jean Harlow; and Written on the Wind (dir. Douglas Sirk, 1956), with Lauren Bacall and Rock Hudson."
