Akira Kurosawa visited the set, meeting one of his main influences, John Ford.

John Ford was allowed to visit Scotland Yard building during the shooting of the movie. The policemen asked him not to show the cups and saucers which were on officers's desks. And Ford finally filmed policemen's desks with cups and saucers on them.
Ronald Howard and Howard Marion-Crawford played Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, respectively, in the mid-50's TV series Sherlock Holmes (1954).
"Insp. George Gideon: I could tell you a few things about executions - they're not very dramatic - you know, they're rather an anti-climax after the trial. Three weeks in jail and then one morning the long walk. And it won't be a bit like you imagine - the heroine with her head held high. They'll drag you there half doped and vomiting with terror... that's the worst thing about hanging - it's so undignified..."
"[Gideon goes to arrest a woman and is confronted by her lover who brandishes his gun at Gideon] Insp. George Gideon: There's a police car outside with two men in it. And if you were fool enough to fire that gun... Paul Delafield: I don't see why you should speak in the subjunctive. I *am* going to fire this gun."
