Filming began on December 1, 1. Bette Davis, upset that she was being forced to film junk after completing a prestige project like The Petrified Forest, failed to report to the set. I was so distressed by the whole tone of the script and the vapidity of my part that I marched up to Mr. Warners office and demanded that I be given work that was commensurate with my proven ability, she later recalled in her autobiography. I was promised wonderful things if only I would do this film.
