In a 1972 interview with Pia Lindström, Alfred Hitchcock said that it took one full morning to get one close-up of Charles Laughton. He also said that "He was a nice man. A charming man. He really was. But oh! He suffered so much, because he felt he couldn't get it out, and we were one whole morning on the one close-up until he got up, and he was crying in the corner, and I went over and patted him on the shoulder."
The real Jamaica Inn still exists as of 2020 and is located just off the A30 in Bolventor, Cornwall, England.

After seeing "The Heiress" on Broadway, Olivia de Havilland approached William Wyler about directing her in a screen adaptation of the play. He agreed and encouraged Paramount Pictures executives to purchase the rights from the playwrights (Ruth and Augustus Goetz) for $250,000 and offer them $10,000 per week to write the screenplay. The couple were asked to make Morris less of a villain than he was in their play and the original novel in deference to the studio's desire to capitalize on Montgomery Clift's reputation as a romantic leading man.
Olivia de Havilland wisely chose William Wyler as her director, considering that such a meticulous director would be able to coax a strong performance from her. As it turned out, Wyler became a staunch supporter of his leading actress, particularly in regard to the sneering attitude that Montgomery Clift displayed toward her (he didn't value her talents as an actress) and Sir Ralph Richardson taking every opportunity to steal scenes from under her nose with his improvisations. Montgomery Clift was so unhappy with his performance, he walked out of the premiere.
From a budget of around $2,600,000 , it grossed about $160 worldwide.
The song sung by Montgomery Clift while playing the piano is originally a vocal romance, "Plaisir d'amour," composed in 1784 by classical composer Jean-Paul-Égide Martini (August 31, 1741 - February 10, 1816), and was the basis for Elvis Presley's 1961 hit "I Can't Help Falling In Love With You" written for the movie Blue Hawaii (1961).
During the staircase scene, director William Wyler shot 37 takes with Olivia de Havilland. Only after the final one, whereupon she fell down from exhaustion, did Wyler declare that this was the take he wanted to print.
Indiscreet, 1958... Cary Grant said that this was his personal favorite film.

The casting of Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman as slightly older and wiser lovers had greater relevance to 1958 audiences. Grant was on the third of his five marriages, while Bergman had ridden the waves of scandal following her adulterous relationship with Italian director Roberto Rossellini.
When the censors had a problem with Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman in bed together, director Stanley Donen shot an overhead split-screen sequence showing both stars side-by-side in bed, but with a clearly visible "border" between them.
The car Anna's chauffeur drives is a brand new 1958 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith, valued at $23,000 at the time (over $209,000 in 2020). Reportedly, Cary Grant purchased the car at the end of filming.
