Quotes from Marked Woman

Mary Dwight Strauber: I'm sick of making deals.
Dorothy 'Gabby' Marvin: Well, you wanna keep on living, don't you?
Mary Dwight Strauber: If this is what you call living, I don't want any part of it. Always being afraid. Never knowing from one day to the next what's going to happen to you. I'm fed up with being afraid of Vanning or anybody else. There must be some other way for me to live. If there isn't, I... well, I'd just as soon put a bullet in my head right now and end it.


Estelle Porter: Oh, you can understand that, can't you, Mary?
Mary Dwight Strauber: I only understand that Betty was my sister, that Vanning killed her, and that you won't help me do anything about it.


Mary Dwight Strauber: I'll get you, even if I have to crawl back from the grave to do it!

Facts about Marked Woman

Dedicated to realism, Bette Davis left the set when the makeup department outfitted her with dainty bandages for the hospital scene following the physical attack on her character by mobsters. She drove to her own doctor and instructed him to bandage her as he would a badly beaten woman. Returning to the set, she declared, "You shoot me this way, or not at all!" They did.
Based on the life of gangster Lucky Luciano, who was finally imprisoned when some of the prostitutes who worked in one of his brothels, tired of the beatings and maltreatment meted out by him, informed on him to the police.
Humphrey Bogart and Mayo Methot fell in love during production. They were married as soon as he had divorced his second wife, Mary Philips.
