An entire life written with dry wit by Samson Raphaelson (also Shop Around the Corner and Trouble in Paradise ) from a play by Lazlo Bus-Fekete.

On the latter absence of Gene from our screens:

The Left Hand of God (1955)... was to be her last performance for seven years. The pressures of a failed marriage to Oleg Cassini, the birth of a daughter who was mentally retarded in 1943, and several unhappy love affairs resulted in Gene being hospitalized for depression. When she returned to the the screen in Advise & Consent (1962), her acting was as good as ever but there was no longer a big demand for her services.
