In 1962, producer-director Robert Aldrich was preparing the prologue to What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?. He chose a scene from this film and Ex-Lady to document the fact that the young Jane was a flop as a movie star.

In his autobiography Douglas Fairbanks Jr. claims that Bette Davis thought Director Alfred E. Green's sense of humor as infantile. Fairbanks characterized his co-star as "not particularly pretty; in fact, I thought her quite plain, but one didn't easily forget her unique personality." He also remembered her as "always conscientious, serious... devoid of humor of any kind." Despite this, Producer Fairbanks hired her two decades later to star in "Another Man's Poison."

Was Bette Davis's least favorite film to do.
