Trivia[]

• In one scene of the original production, Bogart appeared on stage carrying a racket and, as he glanced around at the other male performers, delivered the line, "Tennis anyone?" That was a result of the director devising a setup to move some actors off the stage for a scene focusing only on the two leading actresses.
