Earl Janoth: [talking on intercom to Steve Hagen] On the fourth floor - in the broom closet - a bulb has been burning for several days. Find the man responsible, dock his pay.

Louise Patterson: [after George Stroud outbids her for a picture] Isn`t it a pity... the wrong people always have money.

Louise Patterson: Oh, come in, Mr. Klausmann. Don Klausmeyer: KlausMEYER. Louise Patterson: [laughs gleefully] I`ve been planning to kill you for years.

"She`s My Baby" is the English version of "Cosi Celeste"

When producer Richard Maibaum first came on the set, director John Farrow who liked to intimidate people who worked with him, kept him at a distance by using a walking stick. Maibaum turned around, went to the props department and returned with a baseball bat. As if a spell were broken, the situation immediately improved and Maibaum and Farrow would go on to have an excellent working relationship.

During the making of the film, co-stars Elsa Lanchester and Charles Laughton were married, as were star Maureen O`Sullivan and director John Farrow.

One of over 700 Paramount Productions, filmed between 1929 and 1949, which were sold to MCA/Universal in 1958 for television distribution, and have been owned and controlled by Universal ever since.
