 The film was shot at Houmas House Plantation and Gardens, outside  the towns of Darrow and Burnside, Louisiana (just south of Baton  Rouge). The home and grounds are open to tours, and the tour guide  points out several bits of trivia pertaining to the film on the  tour, including the bedroom where Bette Davis (qv) slept while  filming and the spot where her character pushes the potted vase onto  Olivia de Havilland (qv) and Joseph Cotten (I) (qv).
