Veronica Lake and Fredric March did not like one another, due in part to some disparaging remarks March made about her. During filming, Lake delighted in playing pranks on March, such as hiding a 40-pound weight under her costume when March had to carry her in his arms.

Columbia Pictures owned the rights to both of those movies. As it also owned the television studio that was to produce "Bewitched," Sacks didn't worry about getting sued.
