Trivia: There are 4 entries in the trivia list - like these:
Norman Ainsley is listed playing an electrician in studio records, but he was not seen in the movie.
The Breen Office ordered two cuts from the original script. First, the victims were supposed to be young girls. That was ordered to be changed to young women although Dr. Simnells bizarre doll fetish may be a leftover from the initial concept. In addition, during the scene in the Mesmer Club, Watson was supposed to take off his pants, not just roll up his pant leg.
Although "The Woman in Green" is credited as an original story, dialogue is lifted from Arthur Conan Doyles "The Final Solution," and the situation involving the sniper firing at Holmes silhouette is taken from the next story in the original canon, "The Empty House."
