Production

The original title was Her Heart was in Her Throat. Lewis Allen later recalled "Chandler was writing the script and John Houseman was always interfering, wanting to change this and change that. I was on Ray Chandler's side; I said to Houseman, “Look, John, Ray’s a very good writer. Let’s trust him.” " This led to a story that Allen and Houseman clashed but Allen insisted, "I never quarreled with Houseman."
