Quotes from
Don Juan: [to Count de Polan] Your Excellency, I don't consider myself particularly wasteful or useless. I'm just seeking happiness, the same as any man. Our viewpoints differ that's all.
Don Juan: All my life I seem to have been stumbling around as if in darkness. I am no longer.
Queen Margaret: Silence! You have no right to speak to me that way. I forbid you.
Don Juan: But I would never have spoken except by your command.
Queen Margaret: Then I was wrong to command you. Wrong to believe that you could reform. Or that friendship and loyalty could ever replace your desire for another conquest.

Facts about
Erich Wolfgang Korngold was assigned to score this film when shooting began in 1945 and even sketched some themes. When production was postponed until 1947 (due to Errol Flynn's illness and other problems) Max Steiner replaced Korngold because, by then, he had announced his retirement from motion pictures. In October 1947 he suffered a heart attack and, in spite of pleas from Leo F. Forbstein, Music Chief at Warners, Korngold refused to return to the studio.
Film editor Alan Crosland Jr.'s father, Alan Crosland, was the director of the original Don Juan, with John Barrymore, who was a close friend of Errol Flynn, the star of this film.
