Interesting facts

Lizzie is a 1957 American film noir drama film directed by Hugo Haas. The film is based on the 1954 novel The Bird's Nest by Shirley Jackson and stars Eleanor Parker, Richard Boone and Joan Blondell. The popular songs "It's Not for Me to Say" and "Warm and Tender" were written for this film, and performed by Johnny Mathis, who played a piano player/singer in the film. The film was produced by MGM Studios.

Production

The film was produced by Bryna Productions, which was Kirk Douglas' company.

Johnny Mathis made his film debut in Lizzie. "It's Not for Me to Say" became one of his big hits during his career. Both this song and "Warm and Tender", which appear in the film, were subsequently included in Mathis' fifth album, Johnny's Greatest Hits.

TCM.com reports that Lizzie's producers sued Fox to postpone the release of the film The Three Faces of Eve, starring Joanne Woodward, because of the similarity of their plots. Fox did delay until early in 1957 after the publication of the biography on which The Three Faces of Eve was based.
