Quotes from
Bridie:
It seems a bit extreme to me locking him up like that, after all what can he do?
Catherine Wyatt: The idea of locking him up is so that we don't have to find out what he can do, Mr. Bridie.
Bridie: I don't suppose he's even got anything to read.
Catherine Wyatt: Are you sure about Mr. Van Layden? I mean, won't you get into a lot of trouble if you're wrong?
Captain Scott: Wouldn't you like to see me drummed out of my regiment? Paraded before the troops? Medals torn off my manly bosom? I used to think that would be just your cup of tea.
Catherine Wyatt: They don't really do all that, do they?
Captain Scott: Well, of course they do! And my best friend calls on me in my quarters, hands me a loaded revolver and says, "Carruthers, its the only way out for a gentleman."
Captain Scott: "Be thankful you're living and trust your luck, march to your front like a soldier."
Catherine Wyatt: Who said that?
Captain Scott: Man called Kipling. Another tea-drinker.

Facts about
The name of the train in this movie was the 'Empress of India'. This was also one of this film's three English alternate titles, the title used for the film's theatrical release in Australia.
'Variety' said that this movie was "reminiscent of the same director's Ice Cold in Alex, with an ancient locomotive replacing the ambulance in that desert war story and with hordes of be-turbaned tribesmen substituting for the Nazi patrols."
The old railway seen in this picture is now abandoned and no longer used. The railroad originally traversed the northern part of the Sierra Nevadas, the mountain range in the region of the Spanish provinces of both Granada and AlmerÃa.
