趣闻
Payment on Demand is a 1951 American drama film directed by Curtis Bernhardt and starring Bette Davis and Barry Sullivan. The screenplay by Bernhardt and Bruce Manning chronicles a marriage from its idealistic early days to its dissolution.
Production
The film, originally titled The Story of a Divorce, is Bette Davis' first film after the end of her contract with Warner Bros.
The original script reunited Joyce and David at the end, with Joyce still an overly ambitious wife determined to dominate her husband and steer his career path. RKO Pictures owner Howard Hughes, who had retitled the film Payment on Demand in December 1950, was unhappy with the film's ending and recalled director Curtis Bernhardt and the two leads to the studio just two days before the film was scheduled to open at Radio City Music Hall in New Yor…
Production began in February 1950 and was completed in 34 days, eight days ahead of schedule, which saved the producers approximately $150,000.
The film marks Jane Cowl's final screen appearance, as she died on June 22, 1950.
