- DIRCAMEO(Alfred Hitchcock): about 30 minutes in at the airport
getting out of a wheelchair.
- 'Leon Uris' (qv) wrote the first draft of the screenplay, but Hitchcock
declared it unshootable at the last minute and called in 'Samuel Taylor' (qv)
(writer of "Vertigo (1958)" (qv)) to rewrite it from scratch. Some scenes
were written just hours before they were shot.
- Hitchcock shot two versions with completely different endings. Both of them
are included in the Laserdisc reissue.

colors, predominantly red, yellow and white. He admits that this did
not work out.
