Adventures of Don Juan Facts
Although Raoul Walsh was originally slated to direct this project in 1945, Errol Flynn had a falling-out with him, and by 1947 Michael Curtiz, who had directed some of Flynn's greatest early films until he and Flynn had a falling-out, too, was assigned to the project. As production neared, Jean Negulesco replaced Curtiz, but Negulesco bowed out in favor of the film's ultimate director, Vincent Sherman.
Claude Rains was originally cast as the Duke de Lorca.
Besides footage from The Adventures of Robin Hood for Don Juan's escape into the night - footage also from The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex was used for Don Juan's entry into London. A ten year younger Errol Flynn can clearly be seen as Essex in the distant shots as he leads his entourage through London to the palace just as Don Juan is doing in the later film

At the end of the film, the young woman in the coach asking Don Juan for directions is Errol Flynn's wife, Nora Eddington.
