The Sheridans' car is a 1951 Ford Custom Deluxe convertible coupe.
"Lux Radio Theater" broadcast a 60 minute radio adaptation of the movie on
March 2, 1953 with Ray Milland reprising his film role.
Both leads, Gene Tierney and Ray Milland, were loaned out to Warner Bros. to make Close to My Heart -- Tierney from 20th Century Fox, and Milland from Paramount. In her 1979 autobiography, Self-Portrait, Tierney said, "As Midge Sheridan in Close to My Heart, I had my best role in half a dozen years, the story of a woman who adopts a baby. The part was one that touched the chords of my own experience. I can understand the hunger to have a baby." As for Milland, he was the father of two children with his wife, Muriel Frances Weber. Their second child, Victoria Milland, was adopted.
Portions of the film were shot in Los Angeles, CA, including the downtown area, Hollywood and along Hollywood Blvd.
Gene Tierney's husband at the time, famed fashion designer Oleg Cassini, created all of her costumes for Close to My Heart. This was their tenth film together, and would be the final creative collaboration between the two. Their nine-year marriage ended in divorce the following year, in 1952.
