    • Trivia
      Warners initially tried to borrow Joan Fontaine for Emily Brontë so she could play opposite her real-life sister Olivia de Havilland, but when an agreement couldn't be reached, the part was played by Warner contractee Ida Lupino.
    • Goofs
      When Emily enters her brother's sickroom and doesn't completely shut its door, a hand and arm very obviously reach out from outside the room and shuts it.
    • Quotes

      Emily Bronte: All our lives there has been too much left unsaid between us. Loving is the only thing that really matters, Charlotte. It's worthwhile being hurt a bit to find that out. The world has always frightened me a little, so I'm really not afraid to leave it now. Though sometimes, when I hear the wind blowing through the heather, or see the sun go down beyond Wuthering Heights, I think, perhaps, I'd like to stay just a little longer.

    • Crazy credits
      Dame May Whitty's name is spelled incorrectly in the opening credits. It is spelled as follows - "Dame Mae Whitty" - using the spelling the same way that Mae West spelled her name, (with an E, and not a Y). This is a terrible blunder for such a highly respected actress.

    Even duller than one would expect

    Pretentious tripe. Noting but annoying bickering. Six stars for the wasted talent and because of the beautiful actresses in beautiful costumes. Did they excel in their writing to make up for their lives being this dull? I will never know. I fell asleep one third through.
