Director William Wyler's own personal homecoming from World War II inspired his staging of the reunion scene involving March and Loy approaching each other from opposite ends of a hallway.  Wyler and his wife Talli had first seen each other from opposite ends of a hallway in New York's Plaza Hotel.
