165 Strangers on a Train (1951)
- DIRCAMEO(Alfred Hitchcock): early in the film boarding a train
carrying a double bass fiddle as Guy gets off the train (see also his cameo
in "The Paradine Case (1947)" (qv)).
- Hitchcock bought the rights to the original novel anonymously to keep the
price down, and got them for just $7,500
- 'Raymond Chandler' (qv) is credited as the main author of the script, but it
was almost completely written by 'Czenzi Ormonde' (qv) who was credited as
second author.
- The stunt where the man crawled under the carousel was not done with trick
photography. Hitchcock claimed that this was the most dangerous stunt ever
performed under his direction, and would never allow it to be done again.
