[edit] Production notes

  • Production Dates: 4 May-early Aug 1943
  • The working title of this film was The Stars Can Wait.
  • The Heavenly Body marked William Powell's first picture since the 1942 film Crossroads. Crossroads was also the first time in which Powell co-starred with Hedy Lamarr, and according to modern sources, the success of that film prompted M-G-M to re-team them in The Heavenly Body.
