Screenwriters Frank Launder and Sidney Gilliat had optioned the original novel several years before this movie was made, but dropped the idea because of problems with the story. They were persuaded to resume work on the project when they made an arrangement with Columbia Pictures, but were never very satisfied with the result. Gilliat disliked the original title, Fortune Is a Woman, but thought the American title, She Played with Fire, was worse. After the movie was completed, Writer Val Valentine came up with a title they all liked - Red Sky at Night - but by then it was too late to change things.
The father of the Geoffrey Keen character is played by the actor's actual father, Malcolm Keen.
When Oliver shows Mr. Croft Sarah's picture, opposite the photo is a 1956 calendar. This film was produced on September to November of 1956.
The airplane depicted as flying Oliver and Sarah to France is a British European Airways Vickers Viscount 701, registration G-ANHA, built in 1953. It was sold to Brazil's VASP airlines in 1962 and registered as PP-SRP. Withdrawn from service and put into storage in 1969, it was eventually scrapped sometime in the 1980s.
The £30,000 insurance settlement after the big fire was equal to about $83,300 at the time which equates to about $820,000 in 2022. Or, to look at it another way, the £30,000 equates to about £746,000 in 2021 which exchanges to about $995,000 in March of 2022.
"Mr. Jerome: One must live, you know. Sarah Moreton: Why?"
"Oliver Branwell: There's nothing like an old flame to help the new fire along!"
