What's left behind the scenes

  • Victor Mur's Passage was demolished in the late 1990s to make way for a new transport interchange.
  • This is the only Hitchcock film in which his voice can be heard (in a monologue at the beginning of the film).
  • The film is based on a well-known New York criminal case involving a double bass player from Queens, arrested on January 13, 1953, which Hitchcock read about in Life magazine. In the film, Hitchcock deliberately omits some details of the case that suggest the suspect's innocence.
  • As in most of his films, Hitchcock planned to appear in a cameo in one of the scenes. He even filmed a scene where he was standing in the ‘Stock’ club near where Manny was sitting. But he later cut it and filmed a prologue with his participation.
  • Despite the text in the film's epilogue stating that Rose Balestrero fully recovered two years after her husband's acquittal, in reality, she never fully recovered mentally. Almost all of the money her husband managed to obtain from lawsuits and the sale of rights went to pay for her stay in a sanatorium.
  • “That man” (the real criminal) appears in the frame several times: outside the “Stock” club, in Victor Moore Passage, and near the liquor store where Manny is arrested by the police.
  • The prison in the film was real. As Manny is led to his cell, you can hear one of the real inmates shout “What'd they get ya for, Henry?” during filming, followed by the laughter of other inmates.
  • When Manny walks down the prison corridor, there is nothing on the pillow in the cell. A moment later, when he is inside the cell, a mug appears on the pillow.
