* AnAesop: One of the censors at UsefulNotes/TheHaysCode needled Lewton the wrong way when they cleared his film ''Isle of the Dead'' for general release by saying that it was a harmless movie with no message. Lewton who did care a great deal for his films, huffily sent a telegram:
--> '''Val Lewton''': My movie does have a message. It says "Death is Good".
--> '''Val Lewton''': My movie does have a message. It says "Death is Good".

** ''The Seventh Victim'' played this the straightest. Lewton's original version was significantly longer and did more to flesh out its [[LotsAndLotsOfCharacters rather large cast]], but RKO didn't like it and cut a lot of material not related to the main storyline. This perhaps accounts for the film's tepid reception during its initial release.

Added DiffLines:
Lewton was noted by friends and family to be a massive workaholic, and this probably greatly contributed to his failing health at the end of the 1940s and start of the 1950s, culminating in several heart attacks and eventually a quite early death at the age of 46.
