Sir Noël Coward refused to sell the play (the script can be read for free here https://archive.org/details/blithespiritimpr0000cowa_d5g3) to be made into a Hollywood film b/c he hated previous American stage versions of “Blithe Spirit”. That said he really wanted Myrna Loy to play Elvira but rat bastard Louis B. Mayer refused to loan her out so Kay Hammond was cast instead
