"What a story and well acted. Hedy as a teenager and then into a grown woman. She was fantastic looking and fantastic in it. I thought George Sanders, whom I admired as an actor was miscast though. Louis Hayward was excellent as the weak son. In fact everyone in it was well cast. Too bad it wasn't in color, or done by a major studio. I could of sworn the little girl that portrays Hedy as a child was also fantastic for her age. She even looked like Hedy may of looked like at that age. Definitely worth watching...."

Executive producer Hunt Stromberg declared his dissatisfaction with the original opening sequence of Edgar G. Ulmer's own daughter Arianne Ulmer, who played the young Jenny; she purportedly was not nasty enough. So he and Hedy Lamarr enlisted Douglas Sirk to reshoot the scenes using Jo Ann Marlowe, who had appeared in Sirk's A Scandal in Paris (1946) earlier that year, and who also had featured as Joan Crawford's daughter Kay in Michael Curtiz' Mildred Pierce (1945).
