Trivia
- Selected for the National Board of Review: Top Ten Films.
- Though Hitchcock had lived and worked in Hollywood since 1939, this mystery thriller, which is mixed with humour, was made in London locations.
- The only members of the cast who are not British are the two top-billed stars: Wyman and Dietrich.
- Dietrich's costumes were designed by Christian Dior, and the production featured a Cole Porter song, "The Laziest Gal in Town", performed by Dietrich in a sultry fashion.
