What's left behind the scenes

  • The film features music by P.I. Tchaikovsky (a fragment from the symphonic fantasy 'Francesca da Rimini').
  • Alfred Hitchcock (1899-1980) deliberately included a fight scene in the film to show viewers how difficult it actually is to kill a person, because in the spy thrillers of that time, killings were depicted as a trivial matter.
  • One of the reasons Alfred Hitchcock didn't want to cast Paul Newman (1925-2008) and Julie Andrews was that they demanded excessively high fees. He would not cast actors with similar fees for the rest of his career.
  • The idea for the script was prompted by an incident in 1951 when British diplomats Guy Burgess (1911-1963) and Donald Maclean (1913-1983) defected to the USSR. Hitchcock was particularly interested in Maclean's life in the Soviet Union and his wife Melinda Marling, who followed her husband behind the 'Iron Curtain' a year later with their three children.
  • Dissatisfied with the participation of Paul Newman and Julie Andrews in the film, Alfred Hitchcock shifted the focus of the plot from the scientist-defector's wife to an amateur spy and concentrated on the actors and actresses in supporting roles.
