- Actor-Inspired Element: When the writers had trouble coming up with a scene to show Paula on stage (the book only mentioned the title of a patriotic play she was performing in), Greer Garson suggested singing the Harry Lauder standard "She M' Daisy" in a short kilt. Sidney Franklin and Louis B. Mayer hesitated, concerned that the show of leg would hurt her image as the perfect lady. They even tried kilts in three different lengths, finally choosing a medium-length one that wouldn't show too much leg.
- Cast the Expert: Like his character, Ronald Colman had been a soldier in World War I.
- Creator's Favorite Episode: This was reported to be Greer Garson's favorite of all her movies.
- Dawson Casting: In the novel Smithy/Rainier is a young man in his twenties. At the time of filming, Ronald Colman was a slightly more mature 51 years old.
- What Could Have Been:
- Joan Crawford, frustrated by the weak scripts she was given in her last days at MGM, lobbied for this one.
- Donna Reed was considered for Kitty.
