Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): As he lays sick, the governess has Raynald count the segments of tangerine. She starts out counting the first three with him. She interrupts her own count to speak with the Duke, but Raynald continues on. When the governess resumes the count with Raynald, the actual tangerine piece is segment number 7. She mistakenly calls it number 10 and continues with the count from there.See more »

Duchesse de Praslin:Don't leave me, Theo!
Duc de Praslin:I'm late in Paris.
Duchesse de Praslin:But... I must talk to you! I never see you!
Duc de Praslin:The king expects me.
Duchesse de Praslin:[She grabs for his hands and he pulls it away] Does even the touch of my hands feel you with aversion?
Duc de Praslin:Oh really Frances...
Duchesse de Praslin:It must be aversion you feel since you always avoid me, never giving me a moment's thought or attention!
Duc de Praslin:I have no wish to avoid you Frances. I would talk to you by the hour if we could do so with calmness and sanity, but it always ends the same. -He begins walking out.
Duchesse de Praslin:Wait! Theo! Wait! Oh how cruel you are my darling! Take the children! Take them! I care nothing about them, about anyone but you! Theo! If I promise never again to torment you with my anger, with my unreasoning mistrust... Theo!
Duc de Praslin:You don't know what you're saying.

Sincere performances by Davis and Boyer in overlong soap opera..., 22 April 2001
Author: Neil Doyle from U.S.A.

Bette Davis drops her scenery-chewing manner and is absolutely docile and restrained throughout as a woman falsely accused of having a love affair with Charles Boyer. The real scene-stealer in this one is Barbara O'Neil (she was Scarlett O'Hara's demure mother). So much venom in her performance, she is a striking actress and was rightfully nominated for a Supporting Actress Oscar. All the period sets and costumes are magnificent, the supporting players are expert and, of course, Max Steiner contributes one of his most impressive background scores. Bette is the surprise here. It's nice to see her playing such a docile role with such skill and earnestness, getting full sympathy for her character. An absorbing, if overlong, period soap opera from the Rachel Field novel. Definitely worth seeing.
