When Olivia de Havilland agreed to make this movie, director Robert Aldrich called Bette Davis to give her the good news. He also requested she keep the news a secret until he returned in two days, when he would legally inform Joan Crawford and her lawyer by letter. However, Bette didn't listen - she called her press agent, Rupert Allan, who immediately leaked the story to the press.
Director Robert Aldrich had to take three planes, a train and a taxi up a goat trail to get to Olivia de Havilland's house, which was in the mountains of Switzerland. It took him four days to convince her to step in and replace Joan Crawford.
Because there was no time to redo the costumes for Miriam, many of her clothes came from Olivia de Havilland's personal wardrobe. Of note is the dress (green silk chiffon) that Olivia wears for the dinner scene with Davis and Cotten, which was from Christian Dior (by Marc Bohan) Spring/Summer 1964. The dress (including matching shoes) was sold by De Havilland's family in September 2019 (55 years since Olivia joined the film) for $8,125.
Second movie in a row in which Olivia de Havilland stepped into a role originally announced for Joan Crawford. The other being Lady in a Cage (1964).
Agnes Moorehead was the only one out of the entire cast to receive recognition for her performance, which included winning a Golden Globe and receiving an Oscar nomination.
"Harry Willis: You're my favorite living mystery. Charlotte: Have you ever solved me?"
"Big Sam Hollis: [speaking, angrily, to John Mayhew] My daddy sat out there on that veranda. Let this whole place slide to dust. When he died there was nothin' but debts and dirt. I touched that dirt and made it blossom. I fought to keep this house and to bring it back up! Big Sam Hollis: [going over to Charlotte's portrait on the wall] I don't have a son to give it to - only Charlotte. And she ain't gonna' give it to you. You ain't gonna' have my home or my child. I created both and I'm gonna' keep 'em. Big Sam Hollis: [now confronting John Mayhew] I haven't watched over my girl all these years to have some... to have someone... to have some *creature* like you take her away."
