a.		In September 1947, Universal International announced that Karl Tunberg would produce this film and William A. Seiter would direct. Ultimately, this pair wound up guiding Deanna Durbin not through this movie but another already scheduled: Up in Central Park, which would begin shooting in October 1947.

c.		In real life, Dashiell Hammett had been a one-time operative for Pinkertons Detective Agency. Brigid OShaughnessy was partly based on his secretary, Peggy OToole, and partly on a woman who once employed him to fire her housekeeper. Joel Cairo was based on a man Hammett picked up on a forgery charge in 1920, while Wilmer, the gunman, was drawn from a petty criminal who went by the nickname of "The Midget Bandit".

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: For the Love of Mary (1948)?
a.		Shot in the Ozark Mountains for three weeks.
b.		This was the last film appearance of Deanna Durbin. On August 22, 1948, two months after the picture wrapped, Universal International announced a lawsuit brought against Miss Durbin for the sum of $87,083 in wages advanced to her. The actress settled the dispute be agreeing to stay on with the studio for an additional three pictures (including a project intended to be shot in Paris). Instead, Universal International simply permitted Deannas contract to expire on August 31, 1949. Upon leaving the studio after 13 years and 21 features, Deanna was paid $150,000 for the three abandoned films plus another $50,000 owed her for this movie. Miss Durbin then retired from all of show business. In subsequent years, producer Joe Pasternak, Deannas early mentor at Universal, could not persuade Miss Durbin to resume her film career at MGM, and she would reject two prime female leads offered by the studio: in the Jack Cummings production of Cole Porters Kiss Me Kate, and in the Pasternak filming of Sigmund Rombergs The Student Prince.
c.		This movie was the first theatrically released picture that Jane Alexander starred in after having been nominated for a Best Actress Academy Award Oscar for her lead performance as Carol Wetherly in Testament.
d.		For the sequence in which Buster Keatons "dream-self" enters the "movie within a movie," Keaton employed the power of suggestion. He shot an actual movie featuring Ward Crane and Kathryn McGuire in a living room setting. As the sequence begins, the movie is playing on the theater movie screen. The film cuts back and forth between Buster sleeping in the projection booth, and his "dream-self" climbing on stage as the movie is showing. In the scene where Busters "dream-self" steps through the movie screen and into the movie, the living room setting was re-created on the theater stage, and a large hole was cut in the movie screen for Keaton to step through. The actors were placed in the living room setting, creating the illusion that Buster stepped inside the movie screen to join them.

The footage was restored on the VHS-tape release from Universal Studios.
