The film's main music theme by Bronislau Kaper was published as a song, "Green Dolphin Street" (also known as "On Green Dolphin Street"), with lyrics by Ned Washington. It was soon adopted by jazz musicians, with recordings by Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davis, and Bill Evans, among others.
Whether it was a wig or dye, Lana Turner let her hair go back to its natural brown color for this role.
According to MGM production files, the rights were purchased with Katharine Hepburn in mind for the starring role.

Gregory Peck and Laraine Day were slated to appear in the starring roles.
"Marianne Patourel: [Discussing William's love for Marguerite] But when you wrote to my father you lied. You asked for my hand in marriage. William Ozanne: I didn't lie. Listen to me, Marianne. I love you. Marianne Patourel: Listen to more lies! You never loved me! You loved *her*. But you sent for me. Why? William Ozanne: It wasn't a lie. It was o... Marianne Patourel: Why did you send for me? William Ozanne: I'll tell you, Marianne. Now I must tell you. I never wanted you to know. I never thought you would ever find out. But now... Marianne Patourel: What did you never want me to find out? William Ozanne: That I accidentally wrote your name instead of Marguerite's in the letter to your father. Marianne Patourel: [She looks crushed] You accidentally wrote my name? Our whole marriage has been a... slip of the pen? William Ozanne: Marianne... Marianne Patourel: Does Marguerite know of-of your slip of the pen? William Ozanne: No. Absolutely not. I never even so much as hinted anything. Oh, please. Believe me, Marianne. I never told a living soul. Well, that's not quite true. I told Tai Haruru. [She looks moritfied] William Ozanne: I had to tell him. Marianne Patourel: Tai Haruru knew? He knew that you hated me. I thought I reached the lowest depths of degradation. But I didn't expect this. So, Tai knew. Course he knew. Now I understand everything. Why you never would've married me if he hadn't forced you into it. Would you, William? [He turns away guiltily] Marianne Patourel: Oh, William. William don't ever speak to me again!"
"Timothy Haslam: You can no more separate love from hate than you can separate the two sides of a coin. To possess one is to possess the other."
