  • Production

    The novel Family Skeleton was published in 1949. The new York Times described the book as "half humorous... not a mystery, hardly even a murder novel, and certainly not the light farce suggested by the publisher's grinning skull symbol." Hero Jeff di Marco later appeared in Disney's Straw Man in 1951.

    The film was known as Stella and the City Man. Susan Hayward was meant to play the title role but refused and was put on suspension. Ann Sheridan replaced her. Filming started in March 1950.

    This was Hobart Cavanaugh's last film; he knew he did not have long to live and collapsed twice on set, but was determined to see it through.
