Trivia

The lead role was originally offered to Bette Davis, who sent a memo to Jack L. Warner, saying, "I do wish you'd give 'The Gay Sisters' to someone else." At the time freelance actress Mary Astor was considered for the Geraldine Fitzgerald role but ultimately assigned to The Maltese Falcon (1941) instead.

Irene Dunne was considered for the leading role before Barbara Stanwyck was cast.

Nancy Coleman replaced Olivia de Havilland in the part of Susanna when the latter was put on technical suspension to enable her to take a vacation.
