Horton Foote, at first, would not allow another film version of his play, because he didn't want anybody to play Carrie except Lillian Gish. He later agreed, but only if either Geraldine Page or Kim Stanley played Carrie.

The statement about the location NOT looking like the Montrose neighborhood of Houston is NOT accurate.

Although the scene was filmed in the Dallas area, the street and the houses on banks look exactly like Montrose. All of Houston is NOT flat.
