Scourie is a small village in the North West highlands of Scotland in the county of Sutherland.
This film was a failure at the box office resulting in a loss to MGM of $333,000 ($3.07M in 2017) according to studio records.
The "Think" sign on display in the Scourie Daily Clarion Announcements office is an anachronism as the "THINK" slogan was first used by Thomas J. Watson in December 1911, while managing the sales and advertising departments at the National Cash Register Company. Patsy (the adopted girl) gives her year of birth as 1887 meaning she would have to be 24 years old in this film for the sign to be displayed at the appropriate time.
Last of eight movies that paired Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon. The others are Blossoms in the Dust (1941), Mrs. Miniver (1942), Madame Curie (1943), Mrs. Parkington (1944), Julia Misbehaves (1948), That Forsyte Woman (1949), and The Miniver Story (1950).
Final film of Harley Wood.
