"Lux Radio Theater" broadcast a 60 minute radio adaptation of the movie onJune 5, 1944 with Orson Welles reprising his film role.
Orson Welles did enough work behind the scenes that the production company offered him a producer credit, which he turned down. Welles's official reason for this is a belief that a person who is not directing the film shouldn't be "just" a producer.
Joan Fontaine's sister Olivia de Havilland went on to portray Charlotte Bronte (the author of Jane Eyre), a couple years later in the film Devotion.
Composer Bernard Herrmann also wrote an operatic version of Emily Bronte's "Wuthering Heights."
Director Robert Stevenson's wife, Anna Lee, was an early choice for the role played by Hillary Brooke.
Director Stevenson was a member of the Bronte Society.
