All the judgment is coming down on Hazel. Nobody has a thing to say to the Squire

The tune the band plays while Edward first speaks to Hazel is "John Peel," a traditional English hunting song

Another difference between #GoneToEarth and #TheWildHeart is that the latter has a clumsily inserted shot of a warning sign at the entrance of the mine shaft

Part one of the tragedy: Edward Marston loves Hazel chivalrously when she wants to be loved passionately

If I remember correctly, in #TheWildHeart (the Selznick re-edit), when Hazel leans on the sundial we see it has some kind of ominous inscription
