Fun Stuff

Trivia: The first preview took place on 27 September 1944, after which David O. Selznick deleted an opening montage showing treatment of mental cases. After principal photography was completed, Selznick was involved with sound re-recording of the dialogue and the editing, eliminating about 14 minutes of the film. (more)

Goofs: Continuity: When John Ballantine, after seeing snow in Dr. Brulov's house, drops and breaks a cup full of coffee, no coffee spills on the carpet. (more)

Quotes: John Ballantine: Now, this honeymoon is complicated enough without your dragging medical ethics into it. (more)
