Trivia

In 1950, Fox announced plans for a sequel called A Spark in the Night that would reunite Loretta Young and Celeste Holm as nuns toiling in the aftermath of the Hiroshima bombing, but it was never filmed. See more »

Goofs

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In asking the Bishop to let them stay on after purchasing the building, Sister Margaret tells him they have $301.25 on hand. But they had had to give Mr. Jarman, the real estate agent, a $50 deposit, so in fact they would have had only $251.25 remaining. See more »
