Did You Know?
| Trivia | Danielle Darrieux returned to Hollywood to make this film after several years in Europe. She plays a woman who left her family in the US to live in Europe. This is her first American film since The Rage of Paris (1938). See more » |
| Goofs | Jim and Marie were legally married therefore the mother's name would have been on their daughter Elizabeth's birth certificate even despite the fact that Elizabeth was told that her mother died. Although Marie abandoned her marriage and her daughter; she did not change her name. It, therefore, doesn't seem plausible that the now grown-up Elizabeth would not know her mother's name and not become somewhat suspicious upon meeting Marie while in Paris. This story gap was not addressed in the film. See more » |

[Elizabeth has just met Andre, a Frenchman who speaks with an American accent]
Elizabeth Rogers: Since you're a Frenchman, why don't you speak with an accent? Andre Milan: I was born in Italy. Elizabeth Rogers: Oh. Then, you should have an Italian accent. Andre Milan: I went to school in London. Elizabeth Rogers: Well, then, why don't you sound British? Andre Milan: Because, I'm French! See more » |
