- TriviaAccording to Jane Wyatt, "[James Whale] was crazy about Mrs. Pat [Mrs. Patrick Campbell]. The set was kind of run for her. The whole thing was to get her relaxed. She was playing up a lot about how nervous she was, and I think she got an awful lot of attention that way. i think we felt sorry for Mrs. Campbell. Poor dear--how ever are they going to pull her together. That was my reaction. We all had to pull her together and help her through.
- GoofsIn the opening scene, the liner pulling into the London dock that lady Corven arrives on is seen in the establishing shot is clearly named the ORFORD, yet after a we see her and Tony speak on the deck, another establishing shot of the ship now shows it is one called the ORSOVA.

Featured review
A woman finds herself sued for divorce by the brutish husband who beat her with a riding whip. The kind of situation that would be unthinkable today but which was probably considered to be quite saucy back in the 1930s, despite the terribly proper tone of R. C. Sheriff's screenplay. When Dana Wynyard and Frank Lawton both gaze beyond the camera, and he says, ever so matter-of-factly, "You realise, of course, that I love you," it's impossible not to laugh. It's a pleasant enough watch, but it's tone is inconsistent and often inappropriately humorous
