    • Trivia
      Glenn Ford fell deeply in love with Geraldine Brooks during the shooting of the film. He was aware of the danger the relationship could have on his career, because of the gossips. To escape from this terrible issue, and also because he was married, he decided one night to enlist in the Foreign Legion. But his co-star Cedric Hardwick found him in the Legion headquarters and convinced him to proceed in the shooting of the film.
    • Goofs
      Jany Holt (The Countess") refers to her manservant as Pierre; however, there is no such name entered in the list of characters.
    • Quotes

      Michael Blake: All right, look, I haven't robbed a bank, I haven't killed anybody, and I'm not an international spy. Do you believe that?

      Chris Kenneth: I'll try.

    • Crazy credits
      Opening credits are shown over what appears to be a gauntlet, "the famous green glove" described by the narrator immediately following the credits.

    39 Steps meets The Maltese Falcon
    Was pleasantly surprised by this one. More exciting than I had expected, it holds your interest throughout save for one instance. The normally bland Glenn Ford was effective and compelling as the returning WWII soldier trying to find the valuable icon in question and George Macready was a convincing 'bad guy'.

    The instance in question, during which the picture throws out its anchor, wastes about 15 minutes of screen time as Ford and Geraldine Brooks do a 39 Steps-like turn as a pretend-married couple. Donat and Carroll did it better, but in "The Green Glove" it gave a comedic touch to a film which did not need it.

    I thought the scenery and the location shots were spectacular, particularly a chase over a goat path high in the mountains. Director Mate was in his oeuvre here as he was an excellent photographer but an average director. But the scenery and several other shots made me wish I could have seen this one on the big screen.
