Carolyn Jones nearly quit the film due to difficulties with the script. After some unsuccessful rehearsals she approached screenwriter Paddy Chayefsky and said, "You're going to have to get another actress because I don't know how to play this part. I don't know a girl who would say lines like these". Surprisingly, the headstrong Chayefsky agreed to rewrite the part for her. When Jones read her new dialogue - including the classic line "Just say you love me, you don't have to mean it" - she thought, "Now *that* girl I understand". Her performance, clocking in at just over six minutes, earned Jones an Oscar nomination for best supporting actress.
