This was Shirley's very first Oscar appearance. She and Peter later co-starred in John Goldfarb, Please Come Home! It was Peter's 1st appearance also. He later won twice. He wasn't there for his second win. But he accepted for absent Margaret Rutherford the year before. They don't make them like that anymore.
