* {{Theremin}}: The score was supposed to be the first one with the theremin, which producer David O. Selznick was really excited about. When he found out that composer Music/MiklosRozsa was also using the instrument in his score for ''Film/TheLostWeekend'', Selznick was furious. He knew that ''The Lost Weekend'' would be released before ''Spellbound'' (Weekend was released in November, Spellbound in December), thus spoiling Selznick's "first-score-with-theremin" thunder.
