Quotes from

Sarah Jane Ryan aka Sal: Can you imagine? He was going to make me a torch singer. He took me into his studio and after about five minutes I said, "Yeah, well I've never heard this called an audition before." He followed me home in a taxi cab. Yeah, and with a gat too.
[Throws gun onto table]
Sarah Jane Ryan aka Sal: As if I didn't know how to handle a monkey with a gat.
Miss Flint: The man who followed me...
Sarah Jane Ryan aka Sal: He said he wanted to discover me. Me! Why I've been discovered so many times they call me Miss America.


Sarah Jane Ryan aka Sal: You poor baby lamb. Don't you know a runaround when you see it? I know gorillas like Chips Maguire, I know what kind of pal he'd be. He gives you promises as long as he can use you and then forgets all about you. We'll throw him out in the street where he belongs.


Maggie Ryan: Sometimes I'm almost glad that poor Miss Minnie's dead, heaven rest her soul. At least it saves me the shame of having her know that me own girl has grown up to be a hussy.
Sarah Jane Ryan aka Sal: I am not. I'm a good girl.
Maggie Ryan: You are not. You don't act like a good girl, you don't talk like a good girl, and you don't dress like a good girl.
Sarah Jane Ryan aka Sal: Listen Ma, I act and talk and dress exactly how I please. But technically I'm still a good girl.

Facts about

Producer Mark Hellinger's dislike for executive producer Hal B. Wallis became even stronger after this film was released. Though the film was critically acclaimed and made money for Warners, print ads at the time mentioned Wallis as executive producer (though uncredited in the film), Jack L. Warner in charge of production and Lewis Seiler as director, but did not even mention Hellinger, who had received screen credit as producer. This was one of the contributing factors in Hellinger's shortly thereafter leaving Warners for 20th Century-Fox.
