Trivia
This seems to have been the only Alfred Hitchcock production with an entirely female cast. None of the male adult characters are ever seen, just spoken about.

Goofs
When 'Vera Brandon' (Nancy Kelly) returns to the room she rented as Mrs. JA Williams, there's a nameplate on the door that indicates the same. However, when she opens the door to enter the room, the nameplate is no longer there.

Connections
Referenced in Svengoolie: Blood of Dracula (2021)

The nanny

The evil or twisted nanny scheme has already been told many times on small and big screen but it still is enjoying to watch anyway. Here, performances are brilliant and convincing too. The particularity, everyone has noticed, is that there is no man at all in the cast, only the director Jack Smight and the baby Michael. ha ha ha The kind of AH H that I like, because unusual.
