First film for Davis after her pregnancy.
This film was a huge box office failure, bringing in less than half the cost of production and promotion. It was Davis' biggest flop at Warner Bros. and came after Deception (1946), another money-loser for the studio, causing Jack L. Warner to lose faith in the box office appeal of Davis.
Bette Davis said the Production Code did not allow the film to bring out the differences between Catholics and non-Catholics, thus rendering the film "dull and meaningless".
On Wednesday 23 March 1949, the Balboa Theatre, a second-run venue in San Francisco's Richmond District, offered this one, paired with Texas, Brooklyn and Heaven (1948) as "The Year's TWO WORST Pictures" and did a sellout business. Truth in advertising pays off, as long as you don't do it too often.
