...this has a familiar purr. The beautiful women now have names like Brooke Hayward and Senta Berger, but the whole scene recalls the young Boyer of Algiers, the fathomless possibilities of Hedy Lamarr, and the line he is legendary for whispering to her: "Come wiz me to zee casbah." Actually, there was no such line in the movie, nor in any other movie Boyer ever made. It came from an old comedy-radio show. But Boyer wears it gracefully...
...Hedy Lamarr, who used to fire up anyone who saw the whites of her eyes, once said: "Any girl can be glamorous. All you have to do is stand still and look stupid."

Hedy did not contest Lee's suit or his testimony that she had often belted him, reviled him, squandered his money, and accused him of swiping her jewelry. Day after the divorce, Hedy, gazing raptly at one of her own oil paintings (title: Chinatown), told newsmen that the marriage had gone bad because she had been too much a "mother...
...Hedy Lamarr, Crowther claims, earned her chance in Hollywood by sailing from London to New York on the same ship with Mayer, "ostensibly traveling as a sort of governess for a boy violinist." Around the studios, says Crowther, "it was long suspected that Mayer was after Jeanette MacDonald and Myrna Loy, both of whom had the experience of being indulged and then disfavored by him."
