Interesting facts

She Couldn't Say No is a 1954 American rural comedy film starring Robert Mitchum, Jean Simmons and Arthur Hunnicutt. It was the last film in the long directing career of Lloyd Bacon to be released.

Production

Paramount Pictures originally purchased the property as a vehicle for William Holden, with Dick Powell scheduled to direct, but conflicts with Holden's schedule caused the studio to sell the rights to RKO. The working title for the film was changed from "A Likely Story" to "Beautiful but Dangerous" to avoid confusion with RKO's earlier film A Likely Story, released in 1946.

Robert Mitchum disliked the script for the film so much that at one point he went on suspension to avoid appearing in it. It was not the last film he made for RKO, but it was his last RKO film to be released.
