- TriviaBoth James Mason and Barbara Mullen were in their early 30s playing a couple in at least late middle-age. Mason in particular wanted to show his range, playing against type as an avuncular, older Yorkshireman (he was from Huddersfield). In his autobiography he admitted that his performance was a failed experiment, and indeed his accent slips sometimes and his make-up and hair-lace are very obvious in close-ups. He realized that in as far as his Gainsborough Pictures roles were concerned, "the fan population wanted me to appear only some heroic young lady-killer; or better still, lady-basher."
- GoofsAnnette is dying because she is possessed by the spirit of a woman who lived in the house. People say that the house is evil and should be torn down. Everyone helplessly watches her die. It is never explained why, if Annette's illness is caused by the house, she is not taken away from it.
