Facts about Interrupted Melody
Sandy Descher played the character "Suzie," but her scenes were deleted from the released print.
Glenn Ford was suffering a lull in his career when offered the part of Dr. King. Even so he made it a condition that he receive top billing, which rightfully belonged to the movies' star Eleanor Parker, or he wouldn't do the part. Ms. Parker says she always cared more about the projects than the billing, but this is one time she regrets giving in because she very much wanted the credit as star of the picture. She also says that Mr. Ford shamelessly tried to upstage her at every chance by walking away from her, and the camera, forcing her to turn her back to the camera to interact with him.
Greer Garson was originally set to play the lead role of Marjorie Lawrence, but the film was postponed for about one year. Garson wanted the part very badly and researched the role extensively. One month after she left MGM (the studio filming the movie), Eleanor Parker was cast.
