Note that this movie reunited the lead stars from "Pride of the Yankees" (where Gary Cooper played Lou Gehrig and Teresa Wright played his wife)! Also note that this movie was based on a play called "Little Accident", which had previously been filmed three different times in the 1930s, and that play was written by famous character actor Thomas Mitchell, apparently his only writing credit of any note!
