FILM 2041: THE GREAT LIE
FILM 2041: THE GREAT LIE
TRIVIA: Bette Davis and Mary Astor thought the original script was not very good. They ended up doing massive rewrites on the script themselves.
At Mary Astor's suggestion, her hair was cut into the chignon shape she wears in the film because rolling and styling it took too long. She then wore it the same but a bit longer in The Maltese Falcon (1941), causing a fashion craze.
George Brent was a licensed pilot and did his own landings in the movie.
Mary Astor won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for this film despite the fact she gave the only nominated performance in the category that was not in a Best Picture nominee.
