- QuizPamela Kellino, who played Kate Howard, was credited under her previous married name. Her name at this time was Pamela Mason as she was the then-wife of James Mason. They had met on the set of "Troubled Waters" (1935), and her husband, Roy Kellino, was the cinematographer on that film. The three became close friends, and Mason moved in with the couple. The Kellinos were divorced in 1940 with Mason named as co-respondent. Mason and Kellino were married in 1941.
- BlooperMichael Joyce pushed an unconscious woman out of a second-story window after she dropped the room key. She plummeted to the concrete steps below, yet there's not a drop of blood anywhere.
- Citazioni
Dr. Farrell: The vessel which we normal people use for imbibing experience is a stout austerity model, which doesn't crack. With others, like yourself, the glass, though of superior design, cracks quite easily. Now, instead of leaving it upturned on the shelf, a danger to all, it should be thrown away.

Recensione in evidenza
A prominent neurosurgeon (James Mason) investigates the death of his lover (Rosamund John) in "The Upturned Glass" from 1947.
Mason plays Dr. Michael Joyce, an unhappily married man. He tells his students the story of a doctor who, after helping a young girl regain her sight, falls in love with the girl's mother, Emma (Rosamund John). Her husband is away; they decide never to see one another again.
Soon after, he learns that Emma has fallen out a window to her death. Michael doesn't believe it's suicide and sets out to find the killer. One way he does this is by getting close to her sister-in-law (Pamela Kellino).
Kellino in reality was Mason's wife, Pamela Mason, who co-wrote an excellent script. It has the perfect British atmosphere - dark, foggy, and mysterious. Kellino's role (no surprise) is an especially good one, that of a mean-spirited, uncaring woman interested only in money. Mason is terrific.
Highly recommended. An absorbing film.
