¿Sabías que…?
- TriviaFredric March commented to his first cousin, Kathryn Davis, about working with Norma Shearer, that, yes, she was a great actress and very professional, but she could be difficult because she constantly expected perfection. When Davis asked what that specifically meant, March replied, "She was never satisfied, kept having us do take after take." Pausing, he continued, unabashed, "Especially our love scenes. She always wanted to redo all the love scenes, several times!" Davis wanted to ask why he supposed Shearer always wanted to retake the love scenes in particular, but thought better of it and kept silent.
- ErroresThe bulk of the story takes place during the WWI era, 1915-1919, but all of Norma Shearer's clothes, hats, and hairstyles are in the 1932 mode, the year the film was made, a typical practice of the era.
- Citas
Kenneth Wayne: How about a toast?
Kathleen: I know one. Here's to your health, your honor, and the health of all your descendants, great and small.
Kenneth Wayne: That's a mighty handsome toast.
Kathleen: But, Irish toasts are the best I know.
Kenneth Wayne: May you keep as young and as pretty as you are, until doomsday, and never forget the man who wished it.
Kathleen: I wonder now, as I look at you, have we never met before?
Kenneth Wayne: No, I guess we haven't. I shouldn't have forgotten.
Kathleen: Oh, could you be Irish too!
Kenneth Wayne: Yeah, I could, if I saw enough of you!
Kathleen: Oh!
- Créditos curiososAs MGM would later do with El mago de Oz (1939), no mention at all is made of any of the actors having dual roles. Thus, the characters "Moonyeen" and "Jeremy Wayne" are not mentioned in the credits, although the characters are drastically important to the story.

Written by Arthur A. Penn
Played on piano and sung by Norma Shearer (dubbed by Georgia Stark)
Music integrated into the score throughout
The first song I remember my mother singing to me was "Smiling Through" ("But through all the long years, when the clouds brought their tears, those two eyes of blue came smiling through at me"), and she'd tell me the movie's story. I taught the song to my children and grandchildren, but until recent years there was no way to get a copy of the movie.
I thought I wanted the Jeannette MacDonald version because of her beautiful voice, but it was back ordered and only this one was available--lucky for me. It seems to be everyone's favorite of the three.
The wedding scene is a masterpiece--understated and heartbreaking, but I'm finally able to handle it. It's that very last scene that gets me every time. Best kind of tears, though: the kind you're "smiling through".
Norma Shearer, like Irene Dunne, is not only beautiful to look at but irresistibly likable.
