The Film
In March 1943, Warner Brothers purchased the film rights to Dark Eyes for $250,000. A few weeks later, Bette Davis, Ann Sheridan, and Julie Bishop were cast to play the three Russian ladies, and a release date of June 1944 was set.
In October 1944, Jack Benny joined the cast, and Jerry Wald was named as the film's producer; the release date was pushed back to 1945. However, it appears that the film was never completed.
