The influence of Andre de Toth, the director, has been very important in the life of Veronica Lake. She is no longer the girl who doesn’t care. She cares very much now what people think of her, and she is eager to win the respect of fellow workers and to explain why she has done some of the things in the past that have brought criticism on her — not really serious things, but impulsive, foolish little exhibitions of her temperament.

Veronica’s husband Andre DeToth would soon direct her in SLATTERY’S HURRICANE [1949], which I reviewed on IMDb: “Think of this as Miami Vice, circa 1949. It has adultery, addicts, and drug dealing gangsters living in a mansion on the water with a private dock and hangar. All it needs are pastel colors and a Ferrari.” Unfortunately Veronica was “uggied up” for her role and looked like hell, compared to co-star Linda Darnell.
