Trivia
It was shot in late February 1943 to late June 1943, but because of the overload of war-related movies, they pushed the release to 1945.

Goofs
Scenes set in French Quarter section of New Orleans feature winding streets (a standard studio back lot trick that saves building an entire block of buildings). In reality, all streets in the real French Quarter are at right angles to each other.

The Wild, Wild East!

A must-see film for any Gary Cooper or Ingrid Bergman fan, Saratoga Trunk shows them both off to great effect. Cooper is especially good in a serio-comic role as a no-nonsense Texan playing off of Bergman's frivolous, free-spirited social climber. She has a penchant for stirring up mischief as she wields her feminine charms amongst the dueling rail-baron wannabee's at an elegant Saratoga Springs resort.

A terrific supporting cast adds lots of flavor, and Florence Bates almost walks off with the film as a street-wise society matron who helps Bergman navigate through the seas of snobbery and aristocratic treachery.

It has been said by some that both Cooper and Bergman are miscast in their roles, a matter of opinion, ultimately. They both make their respective roles their own, and it's my opinion that it's difficult to imagine anyone else playing them, especially with their level of chemistry. Every film has flaws; the good acting here more than makes up for this film's few shortcomings. Well worth a look.
