Howard Hill, one of the great archery experts of the 1930s and 1940s, worked on the earlier Errol Flynn classic The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) and, in particular, provided all of the special trick shots during the famous archery tournament. He taught Flynn how to use a bow and arrow and presumably did the same for Cornel Wilde on this film.
The great Ralph Faulkner, fencing master and fight coordinator on most of the great Hollywood swashbucklers of the 1930s and 1940s, here doubles Henry Daniell in the climactic duel scene, much as he had done six years earlier in The Sea Hawk (1940), when Daniell (described as "completely helpless" in a memo to Hal B. Wallis, because he couldn't handle a sword) had to fight Errol Flynn.
Character actor Miles Mander appears very briefly early in the film as "Lord Warrick". He is mentioned again late in the film, implying that Mr. Mander ended up on the cutting room floor.
Anita Louise was originally planned by Warner Bros. to play Maid Marian in The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938), but a late decision to cast Olivia de Havilland after Captain Blood (1935) and The Charge of the Light Brigade (1936) being so successful was a very wise move.
The composer of the score, Hugo Friedhofer, worked on the earlier Errol Flynn classic The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) as chief orchestrator for Erich Wolfgang Korngold's award-winning score. Certain elements from that score can be heard in Friedhofer's work.
"Fitz-Herbert: This is most unfortunate, my lord. Strangers in the castle!"
"Fitz-Herbert: Your life is too precious to England. You will enjoy this traitor's death no less if I slaughter him for you! The Regent. William of Pembroke: Thank you, Fitz-Herbert, but this is one thing I wish to do myself."
