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.
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.
Captain Scott: You're the first American woman I've met. Are they all like you?

The book that Van Leyden (Herbert Lom) reads in the film was historian Edward Gibbon's 'Decline And Fall Of The Roman Empire' (1776).
