My great-uncle Lou worked as a sound technician for films out of NYC. Once upon a time, he related how much he despised Spencer Tracy due to the experiences he had with Tracy while trying to make an aborted film version of "The Yearling." Uncle Lou was a somewhat bitter man but his vitriol for Tracy was notable. Never got the full story, unfortunately.
Love the glamor the B&W films and sometimes just watch for the designs and clothes. Yeah glad I found this 😀 I shall return
And to be fair the picture didn’t seem to damage Woody Van Dyke’s lasting reputation as a director. I now want to see this next time it pops up on TCM
