Trivia
In the book "A Heart at Fire's Center: The Life and Music of Bernard Herrmann," director John Brahm said this about the concerto scene: "For a long time, I had been dissatisfied with the photography of music in films. Musicians themselves are uninteresting; it is what they play that should be photographed. I myself could not read a note of music, but when Herrmann came and saw the finished film he could not believe it. I had photographed his music."

Errores
The title of Patrick Hamilton's novel, 'Hangover Square', is a play on words based on 'Hanover Square'. It is not meant to be Bone's actual address as it is in the film version, where a street sign marked 'Hangover Square' is seen.

Visually Striking

In this variation on the Jekyll and Hyde story, a composer has sporadic episodes where his subconscious takes over and he has no recollections of his actions during these lapses when he comes to. This film reunites Cregar and Sanders with director Brahm from "The Lodger" the previous year, and, like the earlier film, it is visually opulent but the story is less than compelling. Cregar gives perhaps his best performance in this, his final film before his untimely death at age 31 just as he was coming into his own. Darnell, who would also die young, is a sensuous presence as the object of his obsession. Herrmann provides an impressive score, including a piano concerto used in the finale.
