    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      In 1947, Emeric Pressburger met the head of the script department at Paramount who told him that the studio used this film as an example of the perfect screenplay and it was shown to writers stuck for inspiration or who needed a lesson in screenwriting.
    • Goofs
      In the opening credits, as the factory gate swings shut the top bar on it is partially obscured by the hanging miniature that adds another floor to the factory - which is really the front offices of Denham Studios.
    • Quotes
      • Torquil MacNeil: She wouldn't see a pound note from one pensions day to another.
      • Joan Webster: People around here are very poor I suppose.
      • Torquil MacNeil: Not poor, they just haven't got money.
      • Joan Webster: It's the same thing.
      • Torquil MacNeil: Oh no, it's something quite different.
    • Crazy credits
      Opening cast credits appear on the end of a baby's cot; all other credits are chalked on a children's blackboard, appear on the side and rear of a horse drawn milk van and on a board attached to a metal factory gate.
    • Alternate versions
      When Bridie and Joan are arguing in Joan's bedroom when Joan is about to try to get to the island, Bridie has a little speech where she says "Some folks there are, who want to drown fine young men and break young girls' hearts so that they can be bedded one day sooner." It was dubbed in the initial American release for her to say "wedded" instead of "bedded".
