- QuizAfter Producer David O. Selznick fired Cinematographer Harry Stradling Sr. and hired Gregg Toland to take over the photography of this, the remake of La sposa scomparsa (1936), he asked Toland how it was possible that Ingrid Bergman looked so beautiful in the original European production and so ghastly in his Hollywood version. Toland replied, "In Sweden they don't make her wear all that makeup." Selznick immediately ordered retakes with the natural look which so dazzled the world a year later when he loaned her out to Warner Bros. for Casablanca (1942).
- Blooper(at around 32 mins) When Holger and Anita are standing outside the shop and looking at the "curious clock", their faces can be seen reflected in the shop window. As they continue their parting conversation, Anita's mouth movement suddenly mismatches what she can be heard saying. This is followed by a mixture of audible dialogue and interspersed mouth movements from both characters that produce no sound.

Charles Moler: [cutting into Ann Marie's birthday cake] You know what? Not so long ago your daddy and I went to a birthday party in China.
Ann Marie Brandt: In *China*?
Charles Moler: [thinking about the pronunciation] Uh-huh. At a Mandarin's house. His name was Chou Ching Chang Chip Chop.
Ann Marie Brandt: Did you have ice cream and cake?
Charles Moler: Oooh, no, indeed. We had swallows' nests, umm, roasted silkworms, snake soup and, uh... cricket eggs!
Ann Marie Brandt: Oh! You didn't eat *that*...?
Charles Moler: Oh, we had to take a double helping of everything, or the Mandarin would've murdered us.
Ann Marie Brandt: Oh, well, Uncle Charles, nobody will murder you here!

- Versioni alternativeA re-release uses the title "Intermezzo" and lists the copyright owner as "Vanguard Films, Inc.", which was Selznick's company name in the 1940s. Ingrid Bergman is billed first in the opening credits, which also are more elaborate than the original release. The end cast credits, however, are identical.

Howard plays Holger Brandt, a married man with two children who leaves his wife and family when his affair with Bergman becomes too intense. Hoffman becomes his accompanist on tour, sublimating her own career plans because she wants to be with him. While vacationing, he becomes attached to a little girl who obviously reminds him of his daughter (Ann Todd), whom he adores, and Anita wonders if their illicit affair can ever bring them happiness.
The film is rich in subtext and metaphors. "Aren't you giving it too much importance?" Anita's piano teacher asks as she rips into a concerto. "We were all impressed with you the night you played here ... with my husband," Holger's wife says, asking Anita about her studies. "I really had no choice," Anita almost whispers. Even the title of his daughter's favorite piece that he plays, "Intermezzo" takes on a special meaning.
Few actors have cut the romantic, ethereal figure that Leslie Howard did during his film career. Tall, blond, with that soft voice and faraway look in his eyes, he makes a perfect musician who is always listening to a melody in his head. Though some people feel his phoned-in Ashley Wilkes doesn't hold up today, in fact, he was the embodiment of Ashley without making much effort, a soft dreamer with impractical values from another time. And so he is here, not thinking ahead and lost in a romantic fog.
A touching and dramatic film with very effective performances.
