David Niven, Barbara Stanwyck, and Richard Conte in L'orchidée blanche (1947)

Trivia

L'orchidée blanche

Edit
Although it is never stated in the film, Karen Duncan is suffering from tuberculosis (TB). One of the earlier treatments for TB was to place the patient in a healthy environment with continuous fresh air (often in a mountain or desert location), and to ensure that he/ she had a good diet and plenty of rest. This resulted in the establishment of many sanatoriums for TB patients (similar to the one run by Stanton) all over the world, .
Re-released in 1953 under the title "Man Killer."
"Lux Radio Theater" broadcast a 60 minute radio adaptation of the movie on June 16, 1947 with Barbara Stanwyck and Richard Conte reprising their film roles.
Clermont says to Karen "Whither thou goest, so shall I". This is a quote of what Ruth says to Naomi in the Bible - Ruth 1:16-17.
One of thirty feature films produced between 1946 and 1948, including nine from Enterprise Studios, whose financial failure resulted in their ownership being taken over by Bank of America for non-payment of loans, and subsequently sold to Mundus Television in 1954 for television broadcast at a reported total of $45 million.
