Similarities To The Play
The movie has almost nothing to do with the play, except in a few character names, such as Kay Hamilton, Jean Maitland, and Terry Randall, Linda Shaw, and Judith Canfield. In the play, Terry Randall is from a rural family whose father is a country doctor, and Jean Maitland is actually a shallow girl who becomes a movie star. However, Kay Hamilton does commit suicide, but for completely different reasons and not on an opening night.
