Trivia
When 'Susu' is asked by the 2 train conductors to prove she's of 'Swedish stock' by saying something 'Swedish,' she replies; 'I want to be alone,' quoting the famous line spoken by Greta Garbo (who was originally from Sweden) in Grand Hotel, which she parodied in her appearance in Ninotchka, of which Billy Wilder was one of the screenwriters.

Continuity: When Pamela drives up to the stopped train, from inside the train her paneled wagon looks clean but from outside it is muddy. See more »Quotes
