Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFritz Lang did not like the title and thought it redundant. "What other kind of desire is there?" is his reported comment.
- GoofsWhen Jeff Warren is shown operating the throttle, three quick shots show the throttle in widely different positions with the middle footage being a shot of a trainman-operated throttle. In reality, no throttle would ever be moved between positions that quickly, as it would make for a violent ride, if it did not pull the cars apart at their couplings.
- Quotes
Jean: [dressing for a date] Zip me up will you, Carl?
Carl Buckley: [impatiently] You dames, you spend more time gettin' dressed...
Jean: Have to! It's much better to have good looks than brains because most of the men I know can see much better than they can think.
