    • Trivia
      Greta Garbo initially formed a very close relationship with Freddie Bartholomew until the 11-year-old asked her for an autograph for his uncle one day. After that their relationship was strictly professional. For the rest of his life he was dismayed at suddenly losing her friendship.
    • Goofs
      During the steeplechase, when Count Vronsky and his mount fail to make the jump, a segment from another race is edited into the film depicting the fall. In the film, Vronsky is wearing his white uniform jacket and dark pants and cap before and after the spill. The clip inserted depicts a jockey wearing white pants and dark silks.
    • Quotes
      • Vronsky: Our meetings are so brief, the dance also.
      • Anna Karenina: But our reunions are so frequent.
      • Vronsky: When I leave you, I'm lost in a world of strangers. When I touch your hand, we're alone.
      • Anna Karenina: [Smiling as she switches dance partners] I return you to the world!
    • Alternate versions
      Despite all previous versions being intact, the 2006 UK Warner DVD was cut by seven seconds by the BBFC to remove footage of horse-falls.
