Nina Foch received a nomination for an [[Academy Award]] for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role for her excellent portrait of the leading secretary, Erica Martin. By one account, she had resented the peremptory order she had received to appear in this film in such a "small" role--and responded by making her role into one that was anything but small. Her Academy Award nomination shows that at least some of her colleagues understood and appreciated what she did.

In an interview that she gave to film historian [[Robert Osborne]], Miss Foch said that she had resented the peremptory order she had received to appear in this film in such a "small" role. She responded by making her role into one that was anything but small. Afterward, she realized that she had been tricked into delivering exactly the sort of performance that Robert Wise wanted.
Her National Board win and Academy Award nomination shows that at least some of her colleagues understood and appreciated what she did.
