    • Trivia
      The film proved to be a complete failure on release, both critically and commercially. Clark Gable was annoyed by the comparisons with Gone with the Wind (1939) and instructed his agent, "If it doesn't suit an old geezer with false teeth, forget about it." He also decided to part company with Raoul Walsh, previously one of his favorite directors.
    • Goofs
      Both Michele's and Manty's dresses are closed in the back with zippers which were not yet invented in the 1860s.
    • Quotes

      Amantha Starr: You say you won't touch me. You give me your *word* as a gentleman. Well, what's to stop you from breakin' your word late one night and forcin' yourself on me while I sleep?

      Hamish Bond: [grins] Only the word of a gentleman.

      Amantha Starr: [late that night, unable to sleep] He said he wouldn't. But those are his footsteps, coming down the hall. Coming closer!

      [listens tensely]

      Amantha Starr: He didn't! Not tonight, anyway. Why not?

      [Frowning at first, she thinks it over, then gradually falls asleep]

    Southern Charm

    Mr. Hamish Bond,

    What a great movie here! I've sit down and watched it time and time again. A film with a little bit over everything, well design story with a touch of Southern charm.. =) Point De Loop will live forever in my heart.

    If you enjoy older movie with a plot and tired of today's computer back screens and FX, then this movie is for you. In a time when actors made movies what they are. Trust me a Southern boy from the South who grew up in some of these terms. Another good movie from Gable is Run Silence Run deep...

    Yall take care now..
