Short description
In 1940s New York, a white widow who dreams of being on Broadway has a chance encounter with a black single mother, who becomes her maid.
What's left behind the scenes
- The photograph shown by Laura reveals that there is no one behind her, however, at the beginning of the film, when the photograph was taken while Laura was looking for Suzie, the sidewalk was clearly full of people.
- Robert's office features a phone model that will not be available until the middle of the next decade.
- Despite the film’s modest budget, producer Ross Hunter refused to economize. Only live flowers were used on set, and the decorations were also real – from Laykin et Cie. They cost $1 million.
