I don't really think about any sexual subtext when it comes to 50s films. I figured Talbot and her "husband" had lied together, but as it was the 50s, they never showed it.

It is difficult for me to imagine that the studio knew of Tryon's sexuality at the time. I also do not think it had any impact on the picture, although it does make for interesting viewing now, in...

Well I guess someone thought it was good enough for a TV movie remake in 1998 under a slightly abridged title, I MARRIED A MONSTER. Luckily no one thought to make a sequel called "I DIVORCED A MONSTER...
