Trivia / All Through the Night

• Actor-Shared Background: Like Gloves Donahue, the part he played, Humphrey Bogart was also a registered Democrat.
• Executive Meddling: Positively; Jack Warner intervened with director Vincent Sherman to get Jackie Gleason and Phil Silvers cast in the film.
• Throw It In!: The scene of Gloves and Sunshine bluffing the Nazis near the end with double-talk was made up by Vincent Sherman over the objections of producer Hal B. Wallis. When preview audiences reacted positively to the scene, Wallis relented.
• What Could Have Been: George Raft was originally cast as Gloves, but he refused the part (not the first time Bogart benefited from that). Walter Winchell was also considered.
  • Olivia de Havilland was originally cast as Leda. Marlene Dietrich was also considered.
