• Movie Goof (anachronisms): Duncan and his men renew their baptismal vows with a prayer composed by Pope Leo XIII in 1884.
• The original 107-minute version with Scottish accents was completely withdrawn after the disastrous world premiere and did not resurface again until the 1980s.
• Although the film was a critical and commercial disaster in both the USA and England, it was a huge success in many non-English speaking countries, especially France, where critics could not understand how the American and British press failed to appreciate the highly stylized and surrealistic approach Orson Welles took to the play. Today it is very highly regarded in English-speaking countries.
• Shot in 21 days on a budget of $700,000.
