Trivia:
John Wayne took the name of his production company, Batjac, from this film's shipping firm. The original spelling though was "Batjak", a likely portmanteau of "Batavia" and "Jayakarta", both being the old names of the capital of the Dutch East Indies at the time (as of 2009 it is Jakarta, Indonesia). moreGoofs:

Wake of The Red Witch is really one of the secrets of John Wayne's career. In terms of conjuring up a dark side and relating that in a man's troubled relationship making him question who he really is, Wayne probably stretched more acting muscles than in any other performance. The supporting cast is magnificent, but Gail Rusell walks off stealing the movie. The offbeat narration adds to the shroud of mystery.
