Sir Rex Harrison (Vivian Kenway) and Lilli Palmer (Rikki Krausner) were married at the time of filming. They divorced in 1957.
"The Hedda Hopper Show - This Is Hollywood" broadcast a thirty minute radio adaptation of this movie on November 30, 1946 with Sir Rex Harrison and Lilli Palmer reprising their movie roles presented under the alternate title "Notorious Gentleman".
In her 1975 memoir "Change Lobsters and Dance", Lilli Palmer recalled how she had to rush from the studio hair department wearing curlers on hearing that a German bomb had exploded at the foot of her garden. She and Sir Rex Harrison returned to their house Brackenwood in Iver Heath, Buckinghamshire, England to find the windows and some doors blown in. Their infant son, Carey, had been in his pram on the patio. Although covered in glass fragments, he was not injured, protected by a rhododendron bush. None of the numerous staff were injured either.
Writer, Producer and Director Sidney Gilliat thought that this was his best movie, but regretted that it had a great deal of censorship trouble, especially in America. The title was changed for the U.S. too. Producers Frank Launder and Gilliat always insisted this was because the American distributor feared audiences might think it was a movie about gardening.
Frank Launder's debut as a producer.
