Anecdotes
Josef von Sternberg was contractually obligated to make this film, and he disliked it, saying in his autobiography that it was "no more related to the true text of the novel than the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Gower is related to the Russian environment."

Gaffes
Raskolnikov asks for "30 rubles, not a penny more, not a penny less". A penny is equal to 1/100th of such currencies as the dollar and the pound. What he meant was "kopek", the Russian unit of currency equal to 1/100th of a ruble, something he and other characters would know.

Citations
Landlady: Good afternoon. We haven't seen much of you these past two days. Have you been praying or only fasting?
Roderick Raskolnikov: I've been contemplating life.
Landlady: You better contemplate the rent! I haven't had a penny out of you in six months! How much longer do you expect me to wait?

Crédits fous
One of the credits reads "Story by Dostoievsky". There is an asterisk next to this credit, and at the bottom it says, "Feodor Dostoievsky, Russia's foremost author, wrote 'Crime and Punishment' in 1866'".

Versions alternatives

Peter Lorre, Edward Arnold & Marian Marsh Were Fantastic!

This 1935 film of "Crime and Punishment" was one of Peter Lorre's greatest acting role, he had such great talent and he used every facial expression in the book as the guilt ridden suspect along with his famous soft boiled eyes! Edward Arnold took a back seat in this film, however, Marian Marsh gave a good performance and she looked radiant throughout the picture. These actors in 1935 made this film tops on my list of films. Peter Lorre like many actors were type cast and never were able to reach the high level of their talents.
