    Trivia
  • Was voted the #5 greatest romance of all time by the American Film Institute. This is the highest voted film in which the two lovers end up together in the end.
  • Deborah Kerr plays Terry McKay, previously played by Irene Dunne in Love Affair (1939), of which this film is a remake - both were directed by Leo McCarey. The year before this film was made, Kerr played Anna Leonowens in The King and I (1956), also a role that had previously been played by Irene Dunne in the black-and-white classic Anna and the King of Siam (1946). "The King and I" is a musical based on the same book.
  • Nickie and Terry make their conditional promise to meet in six months at exactly the halfway point of the film (59-1/2 minutes into the 119-minute movie).
  • Ingrid Bergman was the first choice to play Terry McKay.
  • References to this movie in Nora Ephron`s Sleepless in Seattle (1993), revitalized interest in the film, and led to 2 million additional sales of the 1957 classic on VHS.
  • Deborah Kerr and Cary Grant improvised many of their scenes throughout filming, and a number of lines that made it to the final cut of the film came from the actors` improvisation.
  • Deborah Kerr`s singing was dubbed by Marni Nixon, who also dubbed her in The King and I (1956) the previous year.
