Katrin was named Kitty in Maugham's book, and she was British. I am sure switching the nationality to Austrian was done to accommodate Garbo's ethnicity, since she was never going to be able to pass for a Brit.

How could a woman not be happy married to Herbert Marshall..?
He's debonair, refined, a perfect gentleman.
He comes across that way, but he had three divorces in real life.

Brent is smarmy here IMO. He's married, she's married and he's coming on very hard.

He's going to take her to the festival, whether she wants an escort or not...

So how does an English doctor come to rate this massive house in China?

A lot of parallels to "The Letter."

MGM certainly spent a lot of money on this film.
