20th Century Fox produced this film version of the Broadway hit play starring Claudette Colbert (who hoped to reprise Broadway role in the film but lost the star role to Susan Hayward). Charles Boyer starred with Colbert on Broadway.
20th assembled a fine production team starting with Walter Lang and and Susie gave it her all top billed over James Mason and Julie Newmar but comedy wasn't really her forte.
Susan Haywood looks beautiful as always and would return to 20th a few years later playing Helen Lawson in this smash hit Valley of the Dolls. Susie was greeted with an orchestra upon her arrival at the 20th lot with the music "if you knew Susie the way we love Susie oh what a gal." Truly Susie was quite a woman a great box office, a great actress and a great lady who died far too young.
