Directed by: Joshua Logan

Corrected entry: During most of "A Wonderful Guy," Nellie's lips are out of sync with the words she is singing.
Corrected entry: When Cable and Emile are hiding out on the island, during their first radio transmission, Emile reports on the weather. He says something about "nine o'clock to four o'clock" and Cable corrects him by saying "0900 to 1400." Four o'clock is 1600 hours, not 1400.
Correction: Emile says "two o'clock," not "four."
Continuity mistake: When Luther Billis is parachuting out of the plane, he is seen with a pistol in his hands. Once he is in the rubber boat and starts paddling, however, the pistol has become a rifle.
Emile de Becque: When all you care about is here, this is a good place to be.
Trivia: During production, a typhoon struck the island where this movie was being filmed. Afterward, palm trees that had been knocked down by the storm had to be put back together by the film crew.
Question: Why was the "I'm Gonna Wash That Man" number severely hacked about for the film and is not the same as in the soundtrack recording?

Correction: I retract this one. It was a problem with my cassette, not the movie itself.
