"Lux Radio Theater" broadcast a 60 minute radio adaptation of the movie onFebruary 19, 1951 with William Holden, Joan Caulfield, Edward Arnold and Mona Freeman reprising their film roles.
A piece in Film Comment in the 80s speculated that the opening titles of this movie (which have the two stars' last names in big letters side by side) might be where J.D. Salinger got the name "Holden Caulfield" for the main character in 'Catcher in the Rye', which he was writing when "Dear Wife" came out.
