Trivia: "King Charles," the horse that played Velvet's thoroughbred gelding, the "Pie," was a grandson colt of the famous American racehorse, Man O' War. After the movie, "King Charles" was given to Elizabeth Taylor, who played Velvet. She kept him for the rest of his life.

Revealing mistake: When Velvet and Mi are talking to the jockey in the pub, there is a blackboard behind him listing the menu. However, all the writing is backwards. The film negative apparently got flipped, in this print at least, resulting in a reversed image. This is the only scene where reversed lettering is seen.
