    • Trivia
      The producers wanted Dame Julie Andrews to reprise her role as Velvet Brown. Actresses Julie Andrews, Jean Simmons, Claire Bloom and Glenda Jackson were under consideration as replacements. The role ultimately went to Nanette Newman, wife of director Bryan Forbes.
    • Goofs
      When the horses are being loaded onto and unloaded off the aircraft, the engine covers are clearly displayed. These are only used when an aircraft is parked overnight, or stored out of service. They would certainly be removed long before flight (the crew are shown going through pre-start checks), and not placed back over the engines immediately after landing (they were visible as the "passengers" were getting off the aircraft).
    • Quotes

      Sarah Brown: I know exactly what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna chosen for the Olympic team.
