Margaret Sullavan wanted control on the set of the movie, and did spiteful things to get her way. Script girl Freda Rosenblatt said: If she was tired and wanted to go home and Willy had one more scene to do, she would smear the makeup on her face. That would mean everything had to stop so she could be made up again. Which might take hours. So they couldn't shoot. Maggie got so bored between scenes she went behind one of the sets and purposely lay down on the dusty floor. The beautiful white dress she was wearing was a wreck. That stopped everything. -- Despite all this, she and Wyler fell in love and were married during the filming.
