Film debut of Olivia de Havilland, although it was released after her next two films, Alibi Ike and The Irish in Us.
William Dieterle had full charge as director for about a week because of a breach-of-contract suit filed against Max Reinhardt by a French film company. The judge found in favor of Reinhardt, and lifted the restraining order.
Olivia de Havilland was cast in the film after successfully playing Hermia in the Hollywood Bowl production.
When the forest that Max Reinhardt designed could not be lit properly, cinematographer Hal Mohr thinned the trees slightly, sprayed them with aluminum paint and covered them with cobwebs and tiny metal particles to reflect the light. As a result, he became the first (and only) write-in winner of an Academy Award.
The movie was banned in Germany by the Nazi government because Max Reinhardt and Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy were Jews and considered undesirable.
