The scene where Manny (Henry Fonda) is taken to prison was filmed in a real prison. As he is led to his cell , you can hear one of the inmates yell out "What'd they get ya for, Henry??", and a bunch of other prisoners laughing.
This movie is one of Martin Scorsese's favorite Alfred Hitchcock movies, and was an influence on Scorsese's Taxi Driver (1976).
Alfred Hitchcock utilized some of the actual real-life locations where the events took place including some of the actual witnesses. Among these are the jail cell where the real Manny Balestrero was incarcerated, the caretakers at the country inn and the inn itself, and the sanitarium where Manny's wife was committed. As much as Hitchcock hated filming his movies on location, he felt that authenticity was crucial to this film due to its real-life "elements that are stranger than all the fiction" he had filmed in his movies prior to this.
On the DVD, the running commentary revealed that when the crew went to film the scenes at the country hotel, Alfred Hitchcock stayed in his limo due to the cold outside, and decided to move the production to Hollywood to complete the movie.
Theatrical movie debut of Harry Dean Stanton (Department of Corrections Employee).
"[first lines] Prologue narrator: This is Alfred Hitchcock speaking. In the past, I have given you many kinds of suspense pictures. But this time, I would like you to see a different one. The difference lies in the fact that this is a true story, every word of it. And yet it contains elements that are stranger than all the fiction that has gone into many of the thrillers that I've made before."
"the last caption: And what happened seems like a nightmare to them - but it did happen..."
