Trivia | This is the first movie directed by Sir Alfred Hitchcock in which he makes one of his trademark cameo appearances. Here, it's as "Extra in Newspaper Office". A modern source also has him standing in a crowd as the leading man is arrested. See more » |
Goofs | (at around 24 mins) The Lodger (Ivor Novello) and Daisy (June Tripp) are playing a game of chess. The chess board is set up incorrectly, as the bottom-right square is black. This is most obvious when The Lodger is poking the coals in the fireplace. See more » |
