Film Trivia & Facts

• The working title, Tribute to a Bad Man, was later used as the title of an unrelated MGM feature. One reason for the title change was to add "beautiful", in consideration of the top-billed Lana Turner.

• This movie holds the record for most Academy Awards won by a film not nominated for Best Picture, with five.
