Production was held up because Linda Darnell had lost 14 pounds prior to filming and needed to gain some weight back so she could fit into her costumes.
A raven appears early in the film. It was played by a "professional" named Jim, who already had over 200 films to his credit. Jim earned $50 a day for his trainer.
A few years before filming, Shepperd Strudwick had recited "The Raven" at a dramatic tryout at the University of North Carolina, but lost the competition.
