1 question
Directed by: Joseph L. Mankiewicz
Starring: George Sanders, Bette Davis, Celeste Holm, Anne Baxter
Genres: Drama
Other mistake: A glass is dropped which had drink and one ice cube in it, however two ice cubes are picked up from the spillage.
Birdie: There's a message from the bartender. Does Miss Channing know she ordered domestic gin by mistake?
Margo: The only thing I ordered by mistake is the guests. They're domestic, too, and they don't care what they drink as long as it burns.
Trivia: Bette Davis filmed all of her scenes in sixteen days.
Answer: As I recall, and it's been some time since I've watched the movie, Karen was part of the plot to have Margo miss a performance so that Eve, Margo's understudy, would have an opportunity to perform the part, for which she received rave reviews. Karen and the others arranged to take a day trip out of town before the performance, and then get "stranded" so they couldn't get back to New York in time for Margo to perform in the play.
