Douglas Sirk directed, uncredited, the opening sequence with Jenny Hager as a child.
In an article for Screenland, Hedy Lamarr stated: "I'm happier than I have ever been in my life because for once I'm in a picture I know will give me an opportunity to act. The girl in "The Strange Woman" is a sadist, tempting and feminine, but cruel. It's a part you can get your teeth into. People will either like or dislike me intensely, but at least they will be aware of me. It's a part any actress would love, touching many emotions and delving into strange situations. It's dramatic and forceful."
Hedy Lamarr was Executive Producer. Without her, the film would not have been made.
Is in the Public Domain, like most films directed by Edgar G. Ulmer.
Story is set in Bangor, Maine. Other Maine towns mentioned include Augusta, Houlton, and Old Town.
"Lena Tempest: Honey, listen, with your looks you don't have to worry. You can get the youngest and best-looking man on the pier. Jenny Hager: I don't want the youngest. I want the richest."
"Lincoln Pittridge: [Giving a sermon, quoting from Proverbs 5:3] The lips of a strange woman drip honey, and her mouth is smoother than oil... But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword!"
