- TriviaThroughout the film's long development Luise Rainer, Margo, Maureen O'Hara, Kim Hunter, and Claudette Colbert were all considered for the female lead and Paul Henreid was considered for the male lead. At one point, David Hempstead was to produce.
- GoofsWhen lying in bed, you can see that Col. Yasuda has two sets of upper teeth. The front, false set of teeth gives him a bucktooth look, which at the time, was the stereotypical cartoonish image of Japanese soldiers projected by American propaganda.

Featured review
Randolph Scott gets top billing, but ultimately this is Ruth Warrick's picture. She's a doctor holding together a makeshift hospital in China while its founder (Scott) is on his way back with much needed supplies--and a new wife, to her thinly-veiled disappointment. Having seen Warrick in a few other 1940s films, I can understand why the doc failed to notice her: despite her attractiveness, she never really exuded any sex appeal. But her character is very likable, while the new wife's shallowness becomes apparent within minutes of her entrance. And that's the problem with this picture--too easy. In fact, all it does is lower the audience's opinion of the foolish doctor for not seeing what's painfully apparent even to the other character's who don't speak the language. There's a similar subplot involving another doctor and a nurse, that's equally obvious. A wounded Japanese villain provides more action for the story, whose loose ends get tied up all too neatly and quickly. Either Pearl S. Buck's original novel just wasn't one of her better ones, or this movie doesn't do it justice. Nevertheless, it probably made for a decent lead-in on a double-feature back in the day.
