Interesting facts

Katie Did It is a 1951 American romantic comedy film directed by Fred de Cordova and starring Ann Blyth, Mark Stevens and Cecil Kellaway. The plot concerns a small-town girl who falls in love with a big-city artist but mistakenly believes that he has a wife and children.

Production

The film's working title was Katie Did, presumably a pun on the word katydid.

The film's star Mark Stevens had been a commercial artist before his acting career, and his own artwork is shown in the film. Stevens painted the portrait of Katherine Standish that his character is shown painting, which required Ann Blyth to spend two days in a bathtub. When the crew complained that the bath water was too murky, chlorine was added, but it still appeared dull, so two quarts of champagne were added.
