Trivia
- Assuming that the town would be in full foliage, the company showed up for outdoor shots on September 27, 1954.
- To the filmmakers' shock, there was hardly any foliage left; to achieve a full effect, leaves were glued to the trees.
- In the gym, a 500-lb (226-kg) camera fell from a great height and barely missed Hitchcock, and the sound of the rain on the roof of the gym necessitated extensive post-production re-recording.
Filming Locations
- Primary location shooting took place in Craftsbury, Vermont.
- The paintings by the character Sam Marlowe were painted by American abstract expressionist artist John Ferren, who was present during principal photography in Vermont.
