Vincent Price lost 30lbs. for the film.
The film is the directorial debut of Joseph L. Mankiewicz.
The family name Schermerhorn, which is the subject of gossip at the ball at Dragonwyck is actually the name of Screenwriter Joseph L. Mankiewicz's ex-in-laws.
Gregory Peck was the first choice to play Nicholas Van Ryn, but he bowed out when he learned Ernst Lubitsch was dropping out as director. When second choice Laird Cregar died, Vincent Price was assigned.
Ernst Lubitsch was intended to direct the film. When he suffered from illness, Joseph L. Mankiewicz took over.
"Nicholas Van Ryn: But I will not live by ordinary standards. I will not run with the pack. I will not be chained into a routine of living which is the same for others. I will not look to the ground and move on the ground with the rest: so long as there are those mountaintops, and clouds, and limitless space."
"Miranda Van Ryn: Nicholas, you do believe in God? Nicholas Van Ryn: I believe in myself, and I am answerable to myself! I will not live according to printed mottos like the directions on a medicine bottle!"
