Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Some cast members in studio records/casting call lists did not appear or were not identifiable in the movie. These were (with their character names): Ann Codee (Madame Dupont), George Davis (French Policeman) and Frank Reicher (French Doctor). It is possible that their scenes, if filmed at all, were only for the European version (see alternate versions), since their character names suggests a French setting. A contemporary news item also listed Donna Reed, Nana Bryant and Dewey Robinson as cast members, but they were not seen in the movie. more

Greer Garson's performance is a tour de force!, 23 September 1998
6/10
Author: Patrick Sullivan (sullivpj@sce.com) from Los Angeles, California

Greer Garson is given the chance to age on screen from a penniless young woman to multi-millionaire dowager in her 80's. The script is rather uneven, but the screen team of Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon is always a winner. Miss Garson received yet another Academy Award nomination (her fifth) for her performance.
