* DoingItForTheArt: The budget was so low (although you wouldn't guess it, given the film came out beautifully) that Bergman had to ask the cast to forfeit their paychecks, which they agreed to.

Bergman had designs of casting Creator/MiaFarrow as Anna.Anna.
** In the script, Karin's flashback is shown first, and Maria's second; they're swapped in the film. There were also different scenes leading to the flashbacks (the flashbacks themselves aren't really different). Karin's scene shows her embroidering and brooding over a portrait of a Saint Therese, while Maria's takes place right after the wake and shows her begging Isak (the priest) to absolve her from her sins, which he reluctantly does.
