==Production==
Alf Sjöberg had directed a stage adaption of [[August Strindberg]]'s ''[[Miss Julie]]'' in 1949, starring Ulf Palme as Jean and [[Inga Tidblad]] in the title role. For the film adaption, not only Palme was kept but also many of the set designs. Tidblad however, at the age of almost 50, was replaced by the 27-year-old Anita Björk. Tidblad's interpretation was held as an ideal by the director and only during the exterior sequences, which had not been part of the stage version, did Björk feel that the part actually belonged to her.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Lumholdt |first1=Jan |year=2010 |title=Playing the part |journal=Swedish Film |volume=8 |issue=1 |pages=41 |publisher=[[Swedish Film Institute]] |issn=1654-0050 |url=http://www.sfi.se/PageFiles/8729/swefilm1_2010low_res.pdf |accessdate=2010-02-06}}</ref>
 
Filming took place between 28 April and 18 July 1950 in [[Sandrew Metronome|Sandrew]]'s studios and various locations in the Stockholm area, including [[Dalarö]], [[Stora Wäsby Castle]], and the [[Drottningholm Palace]] Park.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sfi.se/en-gb/Swedish-film/Swedish-Film-Database/?itemid=4330&type=MOVIE&iv=RecordingPlace |title= Fröken Julie (1951) - Filming locations |work=Swedish Film Database |publisher=[[Swedish Film Institute]] |accessdate=2010-02-06}}</ref>
 
In the book-length interview ''Hitchcock/Truffaut'' (Simon and Schuster, 1967), [[Alfred Hitchcock]] said he had hired Björk as the female lead for ''[[I Confess (film)|I Confess]]'' in 1952, after seeing her in ''Miss Julie''. However, when Björk arrived in Hollywood with her lover [[Stig Dagerman]] and their baby, [[Jack Warner]], head of [[Warner Brothers]]. insisted that Hitchcock find another actress.
