Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDespite several failed attempts to film the novel "The Catcher in the Rye," this remains the only film adaptation of a fictional work written by J.D. Salinger. It was adapted from his short story "Uncle Wiggily in Connecticut," found in the volume "Nine Stories." Salinger was incredibly disappointed with the changes made to his original story and never again allowed any of his work to be adapted for film.
- GoofsAfter the December 7, 1941 football game at the Polo Grounds, Eloise is climbing the stairs to the train platform, and the ends of her head scarf are out.. In the next shot, the ends of her scarf are tucked inside her coat. (A double was probably used at the Polo Grounds as Eloise's face is not seen climbing the stairs, and Susan Hayward was used in the next shots done at the studio.)
- Quotes
Eloise Winters: I was a good girl once.

Featured review
One of Heyward's best
I have this movie on Laser Disk. It has been and continues to be one of my all time favorites. I've been waiting YEARS for this to come out on DVD but alas no go as of yet. I have almost all of Susan Heyward's films and this is still my favorite. She plays against type in her soft portrayal of a young woman in love. Chemistry between Heyward and Andrews is great. You can actually believe that they love each other. Robert Keith plays Heyward's father and turns in his best performance. Even though done in a studio the movie has a genuine "New York" feel. And of course the song...which I guarantee once you hear it you'll be humming or singing it all day long. My Laser copy of this movie is very good I just don't know how much longer my laser disk player will hold out. Why no DVD??
