In an article for Screenland, Hedy Lamarr stated: "I'm happier than I have ever been in my life because for once I'm in a picture I know will give me an opportunity to act. The girl in "The Strange Woman" is a sadist, tempting and feminine, but cruel. It's a part you can get your teeth into. People will either like or dislike me intensely, but at least they will be aware of me. It's a part any actress would love, touching many emotions and delving into strange situations. It's dramatic and forceful."
Female leads Hedy Lamarr and Hillary Brooke were born two months apart in 1914. They died 8 months apart in 1999 and early 2000.
The title comes from the Bible, the Book of Proverbs 5:3. "The lips of the strange woman drip honey and her mouth is as smooth as oil," and is quoted in the sermon scene.
Hedy Lamarr was executive producer. Without her, the film would not have been made.
