Interesting facts

• Based on: The Trespasser

Production

Bette Davis said:"[it] was certainly not one of my favorite scripts. There was a falseness to the whole project. But I did meet and work with Edmund Goulding for the first time. He concentrated on attractive shots of me—in other words, gave me the star treatment. It was the first time I had this. I was always a member of the cast—a leading member—but not made special in the way Goulding made me special in this film."

Davis and Goulding would later collaborate on three more films: Dark Victory (1939), The Old Maid (1939) and The Great Lie (1941).
