Trivia and QuotesQuotes Mary Keaton, aka Mary Bernard: [At the State Reform School for girls, an inmate is at the piano singing the song "Diane", which includes the lyric "I`m in heaven when I see you smile".] Will ya stop remindin` me of heaven... when I`m so close to the other place?
Prisoner at Checkers Table: What`s the matter Mary? Don`t you like our little hotel?
Mary Keaton, aka Mary Bernard: Oh, I think it`s swell. The ventilation is great, my room has a southern exposure, the rates are cheap, but somehow or other the atmosphere is too confining.
Fat Prisoner: Don`t let it getcha down, kid. At least we don`t have to wait in line for a bowl of soup like they do outside.
Mrs. Black, Prisoner at Checkers Table: Don`t be always a-stewin`, dearie. You only get your insides in an uproar, and for what? You`re in and you`re gonna stay in till they get even with ya for bustin` the rules.
Mary Keaton, aka Mary Bernard: Yeah, I`m in alright, but that don`t mean I hafta like it. Michael Loftus: [to Vivian] I can tell you`re a real woman, not one of those stuffed brassieres you see on Park Avenue. You`ve got all the works that make a woman want to go, and live, and love. Junior (Kirkwood boy): Please don`t hurt my mommy!
Harve: I`ll bear that in mind. Ruth Wescott: It must be a grand feeling to get everything you want.Trivia Director Mervyn LeRoy disliked the acting job Bette Davis did in this film. She, in turn, hated his directing and called him a "hack," feeling that her talent was being wasted playing supporting roles. This rift came back to haunt LeRoy when Davis became a big star. The title refers to the superstition that if three people light their cigarettes with the same match, the third person will soon die. While some attribute the superstition to World War I, where it was sometimes thought that lighting a match long enough to light three cigarettes would attract enemy gunfire, it is now known that a match company "created" the superstition to cut down on sharing of matches and thus increase sales. Ship scene features same set used in "Baby Face" a year earlier. Scenes of frenzy caused by the enactment of Prohibition were originally used in The Public Enemy (1931). | ||
