Stars Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier were newlyweds at the time of filming and were considered a "dream couple." The film's tagline was: "The Year's Most Exciting Team of Screen Lovers!" "That Hamilton Woman" is the last of three films they made together and their only film as a married couple. Their first film, "Fire Over England," was also produced by Korda. In one scene Laurence Olivier, as Nelson, says he has received orders from Admiral Hood. Olivier played Admiral Hood 43 years later in "The Bounty" (1984).
