Did You Know?
| Trivia | Sir Alfred Hitchcock was disappointed with the limits of Gregory Peck's facial expressions. According to Peck, "I couldn't produce the facial expressions that Hitch wanted turned on. I didn't have that facility. He already had a preconception of what the expression ought to be on your face, he planned that as carefully as the camera angles. Hitchcock was an outside fellow, and I had the Stanislavski training from the Neighborhood Playhouse, which means you work from the inside." See more » |
| Goofs | The burn on J.B.'s hand is only visible when Petersen notices it. It disappears in every other scene where his hand is visible (like when he is sitting on the couch with Dr. Brulov). See more » |

| Crazy Credits | Opening credits: THE FAULT . . . . . IS NOT IN OUR STARS, BUT IN OURSELVES . . . . . - SHAKESPEARE Our story deals with psychoanalysis, the method by which modern science treats the emotional problems of the sane. The analyst seeks only to induce the patient to talk about his hidden problems, to open the locked doors of his mind. Once the complexes that have been disturbing the patient are uncovered and interpreted, the illness and confusion disappear.....and the devils of unreason are driven from the human soul. See more » |
