The film was adapted by Casey Robinson from the novel by Rachel Field. It was directed by Anatole Litvak.
While the movie was not a box-office success, the movie was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture, due partially to the box-office credentials of Bette Davis. For her third-billed role, O'Neil was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. Previously, she had received much acclaim for her role as Scarlett O'Hara's mother in "Gone With The Wind." She was only one of many actors from the film who found support from the Academy for their future work, including Olivia DeHavilland and Thomas Mitchell.
