Storyline

Trivia
Ann Todd played the daughter of John McIntire's character even though she was five months older than him. She was also 50 years old playing an implied young woman.

Goofs
In his closing monologue, Hitchcock refers to 'Mr Melton' dropping his interference with Sylvia Leeds' life, and vice versa, but there is no character named Melton in the story, unless it is her psychiatrist whose surname is not mentioned but who is listed in the credits as Dr Jason. Judging by the monologue however, it is more likely that 'Melton' may have been the originally scripted name for the Leeds.

Quotes
[afterword]
Alfred Hitchcock: [Close shot of Hitchcock] Well, I'm not sure the psychiatrist straightened out Sylvia's mind, but he certainly improved her aim. You will be pleased to know that Mr. Melton stopped interfering with Sylvia's life and her interference with his life was limited to this one culminating stroke. If you found this story amusing, you will be pleased to know that we have prepared another for our next presentation. So, until then, good hyphen night.
