This movie was shot on-location in North Carolina, at the 1895 Biltmore Estate of George Vanderbilt (situated in Asheville) and at Lake Junaluska.
This was Sir Alec Guinness' first American movie.
During filming, Sir Alec Guinness met James Dean, and later recalled predicting that Dean would die in a car crash. When Dean showed Guinness his newly-bought Porsche, Guinness advised him to "Get rid of that car, or you'll be dead in a week!" Guinness unfortunately proved to be right.
This was the second time in two years that Jessie Royce Landis played Grace Kelly's mother. The first was in To Catch a Thief (1955).
This is the third adaptation of Ferenc Molnár's play "The Swan". The previous adaptations were The Swan (1925) and One Romantic Night (1930).
"[last lines] Prince Albert: Your father used to call you his swan. At least I'm told. I think that's a good thing to remember. Think what it means to be a swan. To glide like a dream on the smooth surface of the lake and never go on the shore. On dry land, where ordinary people walk, the swan is awkward. Even ridiculous. When she waddles up the bank, she painfully resembles a different kind of bird, n'est-ce pas? Princess Alexandra: A goose. Prince Albert: I'm afraid so. So there she must stay. Out on the lake. Silent White. Majestic. Be a bird but never fly. Know one song but never sing it. Until the moment of her death. And so it must be for you, Alexandra. Head high. Cool indifference to the staring crowds along the bank. And the song - Never. Princess Alexandra: Take me inside, Albert. [Albert takes her hand, and they go inside the palace together]"
"Princess Beatrix: But this is the 20th century! Symphorosa: I don't like the 20th century."
