Trivia
Allan (Michael Wilding) says to the butler, Judd (Edward Rigby), "If only Arthur Treacher could see you now." Arthur Treacher was an English actor, known for his stereotypical performances as an English butler in American movies. He also lent his name to a string of fish and chips restaurants in the U.S.

Goofs
When at the theatre for their final reunion, there is an air raid announcement and eventually aircraft are heard overhead and bombs start to drop. However, the last air raid on London was in January 1944, a year before Diana returns. There were V1 and V2 rockets, but doing away with the entire audience would not have fitted with the poignant ending.

Picadilly Incident review

Very genteel British wartime romance in which Michael Wilding eventually remarries after believing his wife of only three days (Anna Neagle, looking incredibly good for 42) has died at sea, only for her to turn up alive and well. It's all very British - exaggerated politeness, stiff upper lips, chirpy working classes, etc - which makes the outlandish plot seem even more far-fetched than it probably is. Director Herbert Wilcox seemed to struggle to fit all that plot into the 103 minute running time, as some key events are glossed over.
