The Disney studio was aware of Tommy Kirk's homosexuality by this time. Kirk did not get along with Jane Wyman during filming, and his relationship with Fred MacMurray deteriorated as well. He recalled, "I thought Jane Wyman was a hard, cold woman and I got to hate her by the time I was through with Bon Voyage!. Of course, she didn't like me either, so I guess it came natural. I think she had some suspicion that I was gay and all I can say is that, if she didn't like me for that, she doesn't like a lot of people."
Tommy Kirk said Fred MacMurray gave him a verbal dressing-down for some unprofessional behavior, which Kirk admitted he deserved.
Transport to Europe was filmed on the S.S. United States which, as of 2021, still exists and is rusting away in South Philadelphia.
