Wallis originally wanted Irene Dunne for the lead role, but Bette Davis convinced him otherwise. |  | | - | The Walt Whitman poem Bette Davis reads (just before leaving Cascades) is "The Untold Want" from Songs of Parting (just 2 lines): "The untold want by life and land ne'er granted / Now voyager sail thou forth to seek and find." | | | - | Bette Davis complained about 'Max Steiner''s Academy Award-winning musical score, saying that it was too intrusive on her performance. | | | - | The film is remembered for the scene in which Paul Henreid places two cigarettes in his mouth, lights them, and then passes one to Bette Davis, but it wasn't an original idea - a similar exchange occurred ten years earlier between Davis and 'George Brent' in Rich Are Always With Us, The (1932) . | |
