Did You Know?
| Trivia | Filming went on through the German Blitz. Producer and Director Gabriel Pascal had his own spotter on the roof who blew a horn when he spied German planes. According to Ronald Neame, nobody had told Wendy Hiller, so when the horn sounded during a rehearsal and everybody left, Hiller was bewildered. See more » |
| Goofs | (at around 1h 35 mins) Just before she scolds her husband for addressing her as "Biddy", a boom mic shadow passes over the lace trim on the bosom of Lady Britomart's (Marie Lohr) gown. See more » |

| Quotes |
Andrew Underschaft:
[to son, Stephen]
Well, is there anything you know or care for? Stephen Underschaft: I know the difference between right and wrong. Andrew Underschaft: You don't say so! What? No capacity for business? No knowledge of law? No sympathy with art? No pretention to philosophy? Only a simple knowledge of the secret that has baffled all the lawyers, muddled all the men of business, and ruined most of the artists - secret of right and wrong. Why man, you're a genius. A master of masters. A god. And at 28, too. See more » |
