Jett Rink was based upon the life of Texas oilman Glenn H. McCarthy (1907-1988), an Irish immigrant who was associated with a symbol of opulence in Houston, Texas: the Shamrock Hotel, which opened on St. Patrick's Day, 1949. Author Edna Ferber met McCarthy when she was a guest at his Shamrock Hotel (known as the Shamrock Hilton after 1955), which served as the basis for the fictional Emperador Hotel in both the book and this movie.
