John becomes a lawyer and is the heir to the mine, but is reluctant to take over. He resumes his romance with Fanny Rosa. Cast
ProductionDaphne du Maurier's novel was a best seller. Film rights were bought by Two Cities who assigned William Sistrom to produce.[5] Brian Desmond Hurst was the director and it was decided to film on location in Ireland.[6] Background filming began in County Wicklow in September 1945.[7] Studio filming did not begin until March 1946 in Denham. The female lead was offered to Geraldine Fitzgerald but she was unable to get out of her US commitments.[8] The producers approached Sally Gray who turned it down as she did not wish to grow old on camera.[9] Margaret Lockwood played the role instead, once she finished with Bedelia.[10] Lockwood's real life daughter player her daughter in the film.[11] Robert Cummings was mentioned for the male lead.[12]According to Dermot Walsh, Brian Desmond Hurst wanted Seamus Locke to play Wild Johnny but producer Bill Sistrom insisted on Walsh. "They had a bit of a barney over that," says Walsh. "After I made an exhaustive test, Sistrom called in all the girls from the front office, sat them down and ran the test. The girls got me the part!"[13] Walsh says the film took around five months to make. "Every shot was composed, they'd spend hours trying to get it as beautiful and as dramatically effective as possible."[13] Critical reception
