Anecdotes
The Heimlich maneuver, or abdominal thrusts, a method of clearing an airway obstruction, was not widely known or taught at the time of this film. Dr. Heimlich first published papers on the technique in medical journals in 1974 and 1975. It wasn't until 1976 that the American Red Cross and the American Heart Association began to include it in their first aid classes and literature.

Gaffes
Julia says she is going to see Mrs. Rudge in a mental hospital in Wales. As she drives in the front gate, the sign at the entrance says "Kensington and Chelsea and Westminster Health Authority", located in London, not Wales.

Truly haunting

I rated this film tonight, but its ranking is deceptive as far as age groups go. I first saw this film as "The Haunting of Julia" when I was a teen and we first got cable. It's stayed with me since, and a recent re-viewing only affirmed my memories. The storyline was adequate, and Farrow delivers a terrific performance, but what struck me most initially (and remains true after watching it again), is the film's atmosphere. Julia's unease seeps into every frame of the movie. "The Haunting of Julia" features that undercurrent of melancholy (or pessimism, depending on your point of view) that weaves itself into so many 1970s horror films, such as "Don't Look Now"). And, as others have pointed out, although the plot line may be confusing at points, the cumulative effect of the film results in a payoff. then ending, by the way, is amazing. It has a true lingering effect; after all, it remained with me for twenty years.
