Trivia:
RKO had originally scheduled this film to be filmed twice previously: in 1946 with Fontaine, Henry Fonda, John Sutton, and Marsha Hunt. It was canceled. In 1948, RKO put the film on its filming schedule under the title of BED OF ROSES, with Barbara Bel Geddes in the role of Christabel. However, Howard Hughes decided he did not care for Bel Geddes and postponed it. moreFAQ

This is a good, sexy movie because of Joan Fontaine and her two beaus, leading actors: Zachary Scott and Robert Ryan. Robert Ryan matches Joan Fontaine with zest and sexy talk. It's fun to watch! To make a sexy movie all you have to do is imply and not show anything. This movie delivers! Women will love this movie as a late Saturday night movie.
