Trivia:
This film is based on the 1928 Wineville Chicken Coop Murders in Mira Loma, California.
Virtually every event depicted in the film appears as cited in legal documents, with dialogue often taken verbatim from court transcripts.
Clint Eastwood agreed to direct the film within the same afternoon that he read the script.
The film's title refers to a European folk legend. It was said that fairies, elves, trolls, or even the Devil would occasionally steal young children from their cradles, and leave a false child, a "changeling", in its place. The changeling would grow sick and die, or exhibit bad behavior as it grew up, while the real child would supposedly become the slave of those who took it, and would never be seen again by its parents. The "changeling" legend was sometimes used to explain infant deaths or disorders such as mental retardation or autism in children.
