None but the Lonely Heart Quotes:

Ernie Mott: I'm so broke I'm in two halves.
Ernie Mott: They say money talks... all it's ever said to me is goodbye.
Aggie Hunter: Don't worry for me. I'm here if you need me. I can't help my own nature. If I love you it's something I can't help, and something that I need. People are what they are and love what they love, and I don't see any sense in trying to be something else. I wouldn't trade it for a box at the opera, the thing I feel for you. And you can't change it or take it away from me. And there you are mister jack in the box.

"Lux Radio Theater" broadcast a 60 minute radio adaptation of the movie on June 3, 1946 with Ethel Barrymore and June Duprez reprising their film roles.
According to an October 1943 news item in Hollywood Reporter, Alfred Hitchcock was initially slated to direct this picture.

None but the Lonely Heart and Sylvia Scarlett were the only two films in which Cary Grant used a Cockney accent, though that was not his original accent, as he was from Bristol, which has a very different accent from London. The unique vocal intonations with which he spoke in every other film were the happy results of an unsuccessful attempt to go from an English to an American accent so that he wouldn't be limited to playing British roles in American movies.
Author Richard Llewellyn was strongly opposed to the casting of Cary Grant, demanding to know how the 40-year-old actor could play a 19-year-old character.
