Trivia

When Emily, the character played by Gale Sondergaard, meets the new occupants of the house, one of the women asks her "Didn't I see you in 'Rebecca'?". Sondergaard's character is made to look like Judith Anderson's character in the Alfred Hitchcock thriller Rebecca, and Sondergaard herself bears a striking physical resemblance to Anderson.
