What's left behind the scenes
- Representatives of Technicolor claimed that «Black Narcissus» was the best example of their technology in use.
- The backdrops were enlarged black and white photographs, colored with pastel chalks.
- To the surprise and disappointment of some actors and crew members who had expected a trip to the Himalayas, all the magnificent views of the Himalayas were created in the studio.
- Cinematographer Jack Cardiff (1914-2009) stated that when choosing the lighting and color palette of the film, he drew inspiration from the paintings of Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675).
- Director, screenwriter, and producer Michael Powell (1905-1990) initially ordered that the actresses playing nuns should not use lipstick. However, a couple of days into filming, someone noticed that on Technicolor film, the actresses still looked as if they were wearing lipstick. A solution was found: the actresses were advised to apply flesh-toned lipstick, which made their lips simply look natural on film.
- The final scene of the film featuring David Farrar (1908-1995) was staged with particular care. Showing the first raindrops hitting the flowers was the idea of cinematographer Jack Cardiff. However, Cardiff later regretted this idea. Initially, the scene was supposed to show Deborah Kerr's (1921-2007) character returning to Calcutta and talking to the Mother Superior.
