Adapted from a play by Emlyn Williams. The original Broadway stage production, starring legendary actress Ethel Barrymore, opened at the National Theatre in New York on Nov. 26, 1940 and ran for 477 performances.

The scene in which Katharine Hepburn's character is riding up a hill on a bicycle was intended to be shot with a stunt double, but Hepburn insisted on doing it herself. After falling off the bicycle several times, however, she overheard a crewmember say, "God, she got old." She approached the man and said, "You're right. I have." Hepburn then signaled for the stunt double to take over, and went back to her hotel.
