* PlayingAgainstType: ''Big time'' in the [[DuelingDubs 2019 New Era Movies]] Japanese dub: Mrs. Danvers is voiced by Creator/YukoMiyamura, aka [[Franchise/NeonGenesisEvangelion Asuka Langley Soryu (or Shikinami in Rebuild)]]. This is especially relevant here as Miyamura is normally typecasted on voicing younger girls or young adults. [[https://twitter.com/NEMofficial3/status/1253658882053820416 Voicing an creepy-sounding elderly woman like Mrs. Danvers]] is definitively outside of her modus operandi.

After a successful run in continental Europe, producer Ben Sprecher canceled the London production as too costly. Even so, he decided it was ready for ''Broadway''. A mysterious British investor, supposedly named "Paul Abrams", then put $4.5 million into the play... more than 10 times what the biggest-rolling investors usually throw into a Broadway musical, even one that's been wildly successful in London. But no one had ever heard of Abrams, and the producers later claimed they never met him in person. In September 2012, Abrams supposedly died of malaria. Yet there had been no obituaries for a wealthy man who died of malaria in the British newspapers, and no death certificates listed malaria as a cause. A spokesman for the estate refused to take phone calls, and used an email address that had been created a month earlier. Sprecher (who had never been lead producer on a Broadway musical) had already built the sets, so he lost millions when the production was canceled the following month. The FBI arrested a stockbroker on Long Island for his attempt to defraud the producers by fabricating the foreign investors who were prepared to put the $4.5 million in.

* WagTheDirector: A weird case in which the director had to Wag the Producer: Hitchcock had to resort to some tricky measures to get around producer David O. Selznick's creative demands. Among others, he edited "in-camera" -- shooting only the scenes he wanted to include in the final cut so that Selznick couldn't recut the film if he didn't like it. This is why, for example, the film does ''not'' end [[{{Anvilicious}} with a giant "R" appearing out of the smoke]] from the burning Manderley, as Selznick originally envisioned.

* ExecutiveMeddling: Hitchcock was an unproven talent in the US (this was his first American film) so producer David O. Selznick granted him much less creative freedom than he had been granted in his previous British films. The film is noticeably darker than his previous efforts as a result, as Selznick insisted on keeping to the novel's gothic atmosphere and avoiding many of the touches of humour Hitchcock wanted to include.
