• Playing Against Type: More like Writing Against Type; Preston Sturges was usually known for writing comedies. While this has some funny moments, this is mostly a romantic drama. Also, two of Sturges' best-known films (The Miracle of Morgan's Creek and Hail the Conquering Hero) are attacks on small-town hypocrisy, while this film is a celebration of small-town values and life.
• Those Two Actors: This was the first of four films Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck made together.
