b.		There were originally many very brief "blink and youll miss them" cutaway shots in the 1973 release film, intended to create unease in the viewer.

There are two other places where this image is displayed: when Regan, lying on the bed, turns to look at Father Merrin and Father Karras, and just after the head-turning scene. In the "The Version Youve Never Seen", the same image is superimposed over other scenes in the film: the first can be seen on the hood of the stove when Chris MacNeil has just returned home from speaking with the doctors and the lights go out in the kitchen; the next image can be seen in the scene directly following the former, on the inside door of Regans bedroom when Chris MacNeil goes to check on her after realizing that Sharon wasnt present in the house.

a.		The first of three appearances for Tim Ryan (Irenes husband) as Lt. Mike Ruark.
b.		Maxwell Andersons play, "Joan of Lorraine", from which this film was adapted, is a play-within-a-play, and its plot not only relates the story of Joan of Arc but also shows the effect that Joans story has on an acting company that is performing it, especially the actress playing the leading role. Ingrid Bergman had wanted to retain the plays structure for the film, but the studio thought the idea was uncinematic and would not appeal to moviegoers, so the Joan of Arc scenes were expanded by Anderson and Andrew Solt, and the films plot was altered to tell only the story of Joan. The title was also changed to the more easily identifiable "Joan of Arc". In contrast to "Joan of Lorraine", in which all the actors played two or more roles, the majority of actors in "Joan of Arc" played only one role. However, quite a bit of Andersons original stage dialogue was retained for the film.

In 1949 the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce began a contract with the City of Los Angeles Parks Department to repair and rebuild the sign. The contract stipulated that "LAND" be removed to spell "Hollywood" and reflect the district, not the "Hollywoodland" housing development.
