Did You Know?
Trivia | Both films are based on the 1930 play "The Barretts of Wimpole Street" by Rudolph Besier. The screenplay for the film The Barretts of Wimpole Street (1957) is credited to John Dighton, but Sidney Franklin used exactly the same script for the second movie as he did for the first, The Barretts of Wimpole Street (1934).
