Histoire
Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesEdward Dmytryk, the film's editor, said that Charles Laughton became so emotional during the scene in the saloon where he recites the Gettysburg Address that it took director Leo McCarey 1½ days to complete shooting it. According to Dmytryk, the preview audiences found Laughton's closeups in the scene embarrassing and tittered through the speech. When substitute shots of Laughton from behind were inserted, the audience found the reaction shots of the other people reacting to him very moving, and the second preview was extremely successful.
- GaffesWhen Effie tells Ruggles to take her husband to the art museums, she shows him a book that he uses to record his impressions of the art he's viewed. When the camera angle changes, the book has changed from her hands to her husband's hands without any pause in her lines.

[Ruggles and Prunella are looking at the rough and cluttered store space that Ruggles will use for his restaurant]
Prunella Judson: It's a mess isn't it?
Ruggles: It's wonderful.
Prunella Judson: Well, I don't see anything wonderful about it.
Ruggles: You don't?
Prunella Judson: No.
Ruggles: You don't? My father was a gentleman's gentleman... and his father before him. And from that heritage of service miraculously there comes a man. A person of importance, however small. A man whose decisions and whose future are in his own hands.
Prunella Judson: It's wonderful, isn't it?
