    • Trivia
      Although Jane Wyman had no trouble faking the fingering of a dummy violin, Olivia de Havilland had to have someone do it for her. De Havilland was forced to do this picture under threat of suspension from the studio and had no patience in learning the technique. In all her close-ups, the arm doing the fingering belonged to a professional hidden from view, or the fingers were hidden from view. She controlled only the bow.
    • Goofs
      When Amelia throws the book through the glass door, it breaks out only the top part of the glass. But, when she leaves the office, only the center part is broken out, before she slams the door and breaks the rest.
    • Quotes

      Anthony 'Tony' Baldwin: Amelia, you said if I came to you on my knees.

      [Kneels]

      Anthony 'Tony' Baldwin: I want to kiss you. Won't you let me get up off my knees?

      Amelia Cornell: I guess you'll have to because I'll be darned if get down on mine.

    A sweet, blithe romantic comedy unlike any other!
    "My Love Came Back" is the inappropriate title for this sweet, blithe romantic comedy that was unlike anything Olivia de Havilland ever did. Olivia de Havilland winningly displays fine comedy talent and really makes the movie shine beyond what was apparently a programmer film, although she is ably assisted by Jeffrey Lynn and S. Z. Sakall (beginning his most famous period, as a Warner Brothers supporting player). Eddie Albert and Jane Wyman make for believable foils for de Havilland and make an ingratiating, warm comedy team. A film beautiful to watch for its shimmering black and white cinematography, breezy yet warm score, and, once again, the radiant comedic performance of Olivia de Havilland to carry the picture.
