• The vocal student of Mme Gilly who can't seem to hit the right note, which Marjorie Lawrence can, is Eileen Farrell, who dubbed Eleanor Parker's singing voice in the movie's arias.
• Greer Garson was originally set to play the lead role of Marjorie Lawrence, but the film was postponed for about one year. Garson wanted the part very badly and researched the role extensively. One month after she left MGM (the studio filming the movie), Eleanor Parker was cast.
• Movie Goof (factual errors): When Marjorie 'Margie' Lawrence takes a same-day return trip by steam train from her merino sheep farm at Winchelsea to Geelong, she does so on Anzac Day. At 4 minutes 12 seconds, the sign says "Friday April 25". The first Anzac Day was on 25th April 1916. Friday 25th April 1924 is the only possible Friday Anzac Day.
• Eleanor Parker can read music and has perfect pitch as a singer. She decided to study the scores of the opera songs used in this film on her own. She rented a cabin in Arrowhead California and played the records while singing along until she had the breathing and phrasing memorized. Then when filming the scenes, instead of lip-synching to the tracks recorded by Eileen Farrell for the movie, Ms. Parker sang full voice (but an octave lower). She is proud of the fact that they never had to do a re-take in order to "match" the tapes - she nailed it on the first take every time.
