The last scene, of the rains beginning as Mr. Dean (David Farrar) watches the Sisters leaving Mopu, was carefully devised. It was director of photography Jack Cardiff's idea to have a few initial drops of rain hitting the foreground flowers. Cardiff was to later regret this brainstorm, however. Originally, there was meant to be a concluding scene, in which Sister Clodagh (Deborah Kerr) returns to Calcutta and speaks with the Mother Superior. Cardiff thought that this sequence featured some of the best work of his career, but the power of the rain scenes demanded that they end the movie.
