• A scale model of Shakespeare's London had been built for the opening scenes of “Henry V,” starring Laurence Olivier. The model took a year to construct. The film actually was released in Great Britain in 1944 but was only now making its way to the states.

• “Lady in the Lake” was Robert Montgomery's next project upon completion of the filming of “A Woman of My Own” with Greer Garson. Montgomery was replaced in the latter film, released as "Desire Me."

• In an interview, character actress Sara Haden usually cast as the prim, icy confidential secretary or schoolteacher in movies, said she had played the confidential secretary of nearly every major male star in Hollywood over the past 12 years. She was now playing her 42nd role of the type, this time as Sylvia Sidney's personal secretary in “Mr. Ace.” She would like to be the boss for a change. She is best remembered today for playing Andy Hardy's spinster aunt in the movie series.
