The role of Victoria Morland/Singleton was initially planned for Ann Richards, but after Jennifer Jones became available, Richards ended up playing Dilly, Singleton's friend.
This was the third of four consecutive Oscar® nominations for Jennifer Jones between 1944 and 1947. She would receive a fifth, her final nomination, close to a decade later for La colline de l'adieu (1955).
"Lux Radio Theater" broadcast a 60-minute radio adaptation of the movie on April 22, 1946, with Joseph Cotten reprising his film role.
Victor Young created stunning arrangements for two Decca recordings of his Oscar®-nominated theme (published with lyrics by Edward Heyman): the first in 1945 with a full orchestra for Dick Haymes, and the second in 1954 with a simple guitar-combo backing for Peggy Lee. In 1962 it was a hit again for Ketty Lester.
David O. Selznick: as Alan Quinton's hands when he is writing letters to Victoria Remington. He did not write or produce these scenes, but because he had both of the film's stars (Jennifer Jones, his eventual second wife, and Joseph Cotten) under contract and had loaned them out to Hal Wallace, he managed to micromanage himself into the film.
