Trivia

The mansion in this movie was later turned into the Playboy Mansion.

This was Constance Bennett's final film, released posthumously.

In the scene where Holly is being driven up to the mansion, the path leading up is not as long as it looks. It was just shot over and over to appear longer.

Coincidentally, Holly is the name of one girlfriend of Hugh Hefner, the mansion's owner.
