Interesting facts

Young Widow is a 1946 drama film directed by Edwin L. Marin and starring Jane Russell and Louis Hayward. It focuses on Joan Kenwood, a young journalist who cannot get over her husband's death in World War II. Kenwood is reminded in large ways and small of her late husband during every one of her assignments. With The Outlaw still being withheld from general release, Young Widow was Jane Russell's debut.

Production

The film was originally directed by William Dieterle who left after filming began. He was replaced by Andre de Toth who then left reportedly due to a case of strep throat. He was replaced in turn by Edwin L. Marin.

Despite common belief that "Young Widow" was a flop at the box office it actually did respectable business. According to Variety, "Young Widow just about broke even at $1,500,00 in domestic rentals." The filming of the production went over budget by $600,000, thus failing to make a profit.
