Only Girl in "Devil" Film

When asked about being the only girl on the set of the film The World, The Flesh and the Devil which only had a 3-person cast, Inger responded:

I love it, but not for the usual reasons. When the cast of a picture is as compact as ours, the feeling of dramatic intensity which we need and desire is always predominant on the set...something like doing a stage play or a 'live' television show.

Director Ronald MacDougall remarked:

As far as I can remember no theatrical people have ever been exposed to such a story. Inger will emerge from the picture as one of Hollywood's most important stars. When she arrives in New York, she is lonely, frightened and disillusioned. But as her character becomes accustomed to being alone, he grows in strength and position.
