    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      According to Michael Wilding's autobiography "The Wilding Way", on one occasion while he and Ingrid Bergman were in the middle of a passionate love scene, Sir Alfred Hitchcock let out a howl of pain, then in the most gentle tone said "Please move the camera a little to the right. You have just run over my foot." The X-ray revealed later that the camera's weight had broken Hitchcock's big toe.
    • Goofs
      As the characters gather for the dinner party, fairly early on in the film, the camera tracks backwards across the dining room. The table has been pushed into the path of the camera by the time it comes into view, but the candlesticks are still shaking severely from the jerking appearance of the table (their shaking lessens as the take continues).
    • Quotes
      • [last lines]
      • Winter: We'll be sorry to lose you, sir.
      • Hon. Charles Adare: If I may say so, Winter, I'm sorry to go. Not a bad place. It is said that there is some future for it, there must be- it's a big country.
      • Winter: Then why are you leaving, sir?
      • Hon. Charles Adare: That's just it, Winter. It's not quite big enough. Bye, good luck.
    • Crazy credits
      Opening credits roll up over a map of Australia.
