When Joan Crawford traveled to Baton Rouge, for the location shooting, she brought along with her, her maid, hairdresser and makeup man. However, when they arrived at the airport, there was no one from the company to greet them. There had been a mistake in the schedule and everyone was filming at the mansion. Somehow, Crawford's arrival was not relayed to the proper driver.
Joan felt that Davis was manipulating the director, Robert Aldrich, saying, "She's practically directing the picture for him right in front of me, so God knows what else she's up to behind my back. I might wind up on the cutting room floor."
Barbara Stanwyck and Loretta Young were both offered the role of Miriam when Joan Crawford became ill but they turned it down. Young felt the role was totally wrong for her, saying "I don't believe in horror stories for women and I wouldn't play a part like that if I were starving." At the time Crawford was good friends with both Stanwyck and Young.
