- QuizAspen Pictures, owned by Mark Robson and Robert Wise, bought two stories from James A. Michener's anthology "Return to Paradise." After Robson filmed one of the stories as Samoa (1953) with Gary Cooper, they ran out of funding and had to sell the rights to the other story, "Until They Sail" to Burt Lancaster. Although the two films' plots differ greatly, some modern sources attribute Quattro donne aspettano (1957) as a remake of the earlier film, also set in World War II South Pacific. Some years later, it ended up with Charles Schnee at MGM. At one time, MGM wanted Glenn Ford for lead Marine. Later, Wise was at Metro and he asked to film the property as his last film of his contract with the studio.
- BlooperAt the start of the film, set in 1939, the four sisters put up a map of the world to keep track of the soldiers' locations, but the map is contemporary from the year the film was made (1957), showing numerous nations that did not exist in 1939, for example: Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam (which would have been French Indochina in 1939), Indonesia (formerly the Dutch East Indies), Thailand (called Siam in 1939), and Pakistan (which was part of British India), among other countries.

Capt. Jack Harding: He'd understand.
Barbara Leslie Forbes: As they say, to understand is to forgive. Or is it, to understand is not to forgive? I can never remember.

Recensione in evidenza
Very good Paul Newman about the effect that war has on people's lives as they try to cope with their loneliness due to separation.
It was a great ensemble cast with Newman and Jean Simmons (Oscar nominations for The Happy Ending and Hamlet), Joan Fontaine (Oscar for Suspicion, and nominations for Rebecca and The Constant Nymph), Piper Laurie (Oscar nominations for Carrie, Children of a Lesser God, The Hustler), and Sandra Dee.
For a 1957 film, it really took on issues such as infidelity and illegitimate children and the casualness of sex during wartime.
Newman was great as the officer charged with investigating girls who soldiers wanted to marry and take back home. He played a character very familiar in his films - one that had a close relationship with the bottle.
