• James Mason reportedly had very little patience with Arlene Dahl's "movie star" preening. Their relationship off-screen was very much like their relationship on screen.
• Arlene Dahl got along so famously with Gertrude the duck that they became inseparable.
• (at around 1h 35 mins) Count Saknussemm says: "I don't sleep. I hate those little slices of death." This is a variation of an Edgar Allan Poe quote: "Sleep, those little slices of death; Oh how I loathe them".
