Trivia

In Britain the letters B. F. have a vulgar connotation, so the title was changed in the U.K. to the simpler "Polly Fulton."

In the scene where Barbara Stanwyck, playing the new bride, was supposed to be carried across the threshold by her husband, she and director Robert Z. Leonard cooked up a practical joke and draped her body with heavy chains under the mink coat she wore, making it impossible for Van Heflin to pick her up.

"Lux Radio Theater" broadcast a 60 minute radio adaptation of the movie on December 11, 1950 with Barbara Stanwyck reprising her film role.
