Trivia
When Orson Welles first set up his production deal with RKO in 1940, this was to be their first movie. Excessive costs made it too prohibitive and so they proceeded with Citizen Kane (1941) instead.

Goofs
The monkey in Kurtz' bungalow has a prehensile tail and is therefore not an African monkey, but a New World monkey.

A sucessful attempt to bring Conrad's intention across

A very courageous attempt to bring one of the most intricate books of literature to the screen. The story manages to get most of Conrad's basic messages across and the acting is superb. The liberties taken by the script often deepen the meaning and do seldom distort it. Compliments to writer and director.
