Tallulah's Role: Daphne Manning

Tallulah accepted the role after the playwright read it to her, but it failed to ignite any sparks at the box office. It was notable as a film made by Alfred Hitchcock a year later. Tallulah was not considered for the film version because her character was restored to her original incarnation as a shopgirl and Hitchcock knew that Tallulah was no shopgirl.

Tallulah's Comments: "A stinker"
