According to Jane Wyatt, "[James Whale] was crazy about Mrs. Pat [Mrs. Patrick Campbell]. The set was kind of run for her. The whole thing was to get her relaxed. She was playing up a lot about how nervous she was, and I think she got an awful lot of attention that way. i think we felt sorry for Mrs. Campbell. Poor dear--how ever are they going to pull her together. That was my reaction. We all had to pull her together and help her through.
Mrs. Patrick Campbell announced to director James Whale, "I would like to look like a woman called 'Garbo.'" After seeing herself onscreen she remarked, "I look like a little chest of drawers."
