- What Could Have Been:
- Spencer Tracy wanted his partner Katharine Hepburn for his on-screen wife, but it was felt that they were too romantic a team to play a happily domesticated couple with children, so Joan Bennett got the part.
- Charles Laughton, Fredric March and Walter Pidgeon were in the running for the lead role. After some miscommunication with the producers, Jack Benny was brought in for a reading. He was too comedic and couldn't handle the dramatic aspects of the film.
