Trivia / The Children's Hour

• Deleted Scene: Judging from promotional screenshots for the 1961 film, the scene where Martha and Karen try to sue Amelia for libel was originally on-screen and was shot. However, the scene was not in the final product and has never surfaced.
• Gay Panic: William Wyler cut several scenes hinting at Martha's homosexuality for fear of not receiving the seal of approval from the Motion Picture Production Code. At the time, any story about homosexuality was forbidden by the production code.
• Self-Remake: The 1961 adaptation was Wyler's attempt to make a Truer to the Text version of Hellman's play in comparison to the earlier These Three, also made by Wyler.
