During the late 40s director George Cukor considered filming the play with Hepburn as Laura, Laurette Taylor as Amanda and Spencer Tracy as "The gentleman Caller."

Tennessee Williams preferred this film version of his play over the 1950 one.

Sam Waterston and Michael Moriarty both went on to play characters in the original Law & Order (1990) TV series.

Tom Wingfield: I'm goin' to the movies, ma.

Amanda Wingfield: You are the only young man that I know of who ignores the fact that the future becomes the present, the present becomes the past, and the past turns into everlasting regret if you don't plan for it.

Amanda Wingfield: Then, go to the moon, you selfish dreamer!
