Trivia
Jennifer Jones, who was married at the time to studio mogul David O. Selznick, complained constantly during the filming of the movie, often yelling, "I'm going to tell David about this!" After complaining about William Holden, the two stars barely spoke to each other on the set. Finally, Holden tried to negotiate a peace, offering Jones a bouquet of white roses. She tossed them back into his face. See more »Goofs
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the scene where Mark and Suyin tell her family that they intend to marry, as the family leaves the room, Suyin's Third Uncle calls her Suchen, which is Suyin's younger sister's name. See more »Connections
