* RomanceOnTheSet: Averted. Due to Creator/RitaHayworth's separation from Creator/OrsonWelles during filming, there were rumours that she was having an affair with Creator/GlennFord. Harry Cohn was worried about the scandal affecting her box-office appeal and when the two weren't filming, the mogul would barrage the duo with angry phone calls and demand that Hayworth go home. Cohn went so far as to spy on his actors -- he had recording devices set up in their dressing rooms. He got no useful information, though; as Ford later said, "Of course, we knew our dressing rooms were bugged. The sound department tipped us off." (Welles knew of the hidden mics when he returned to Columbia to make ''Film/TheLadyFromShanghai'' with his estranged wife. He said that he and Rita would perform impromptu skits and radio shows in their dressing room for the benefit of their "listeners").
