- Creator Backlash: After the film was dismissed upon its release for being too melodramatic (ever for its time), Bette Davis said that she remembered it as "a terrible movie" and the death scene at her end in the film as "the longest death scene ever seen on the screen."
- Troubled Production:
- Regarding Bette Davis' status with the film's studio, Warner Bros..; the film marks Davis' last appearance as a contract actress for Warner, after eighteen years with the studio. She tried several times to walk away from the film (which only caused the production cost to increase), but Warner refused to release her from their employment contract.
- Besides her legal issues with the studio, Davis also had issues with King Vidor over the character, because Vidor wanted Rosa to be extremely unlikable and her performance more extreme, which clashed with Davis's views and in turn only soured her views on the film.
