My Foolish Heart

Despite several failed attempts to film the novel "The Catcher in the Rye," this remains the only film adaptation of a fictional work written by J.D. Salinger. It was adapted from his short story "Uncle Wiggily in Connecticut," found in the volume "Nine Stories." Salinger was incredibly disappointed with the changes made to his original story and never again allowed any of his work to be adapted for film.

After the December 7, 1941 football game at the Polo Grounds, Eloise is climbing the stairs to the train platform, and the ends of her head scarf are out.. In the next shot, the ends of her scarf are tucked inside her coat. (A double was probably used at the Polo Grounds as Eloise's face is not seen climbing the stairs, and Susan Hayward was used in the next shots done at the studio.)
