Trivia

When Captain Evans translates the Fado's title, Lisboa Antiga, to his American companion, he says Old Lisbon. This is not the best English rendition of the meaning, but in it's favor, it is the literal translation of a line of the poem itself. See more »

Goofs

Capt. Evans tells Mrs. Merrill that the Seteais Palace is Pena Palace, two distinct palaces in the region of Sintra. The Seteais Palace became an hotel since the early 21st century, and it overlooks the Pena Palace. See more »

A Good potboiler of the time
21 January 2007 | by (swansea Wales) – See all my reviews

I consider Ray Milland was a much more influential director and actor than the afficiandos estimate. A good sound actor who could carry the lead particularly well and as this film and "A Man Alone" indicate he had the ability to create watchable,logical movies that had good camera work and never over egged the pudding.The Camera work in Lisbon is particularly good as are the sets which convey the aura of the time. The story line is clever without being to complex and an air of authenticity pervades the production which was done in an age where the backlot was normally everything.Splendid acting from Claude Rains as usual with Milland and the rest matching it perfectly. A good rainy day movie even now and worth my score of 8.
