    • Trivia
      This was Olivia de Havilland's first film role in three years. She was suspended by Warner Brothers after she filed suit against the studio on August 23, 1943, and was officially fired upon winning her suit by unanimous decision on December 8, 1944. Because of this lawsuit and her reputation as a perfectionist, de Havilland was labeled "difficult" in show business, temporarily making her an undesirable choice for many producers.
    • Goofs
      When Captain Cosgrove shuts off the power to his biplane, it continues to glide on a level path. Biplanes have very high drag because they have two wings and all the supports in between. The plane would have started to fall toward the ground, not continue on. The clouds in the background show a level path of travel.

    Best Undiscovered Movie Worth Finding!

    I found this web site so I could find this movie! This story was so captivating and Olivia's performance was so endearing that I was glued to the television at 2am and didn't care! For those of you who love the tales of tragic love denied and then bestowed - this is one of the best kept secrets of classic movies.
