What's left behind the scenes
- Alfred Hitchcock's cameo – a man sitting with his back to the camera at a desk in the editorial office at the five-minute mark of the film.
- After a private screening, Charles M. Woolf, the distributor's executive who was skeptical of Hitchcock's experiments, told the director: «Your film is terrible, we will put it on the shelf and forget about it.» However, the film eventually was released thanks to the director of «Gainsborough Pictures» Michael Balcon and editor Ivore Montagu.
- The silent version of the film was restored by the British Film Institute's National Archive with the support of the British Council.
- In the opening scene of the film, Hitchcock planned to show the victim of a maniac being pulled from the Thames at night against the backdrop of Charing Cross Bridge. However, Scotland Yard forbade him from filming on the bridge. Hitchcock repeated his request several times until Scotland Yard hinted that if the scene was shot in one night, the police would 'look the other way.' Hitchcock quickly sent the actors and camera crew to the location. However, when the film was developed, it turned out that the footage on the bridge was missing. After a long search, Hitchcock discovered that the cameraman had forgotten to put the lens on the camera before the night shoot.
- Russian audiences will see the restored version of the film for the first time in August 2014 at the 'Hitchcock: Nine Unknowns' festival, organized by the British Council.
