What's left behind the scenes
- Alfred Hitchcock appears in the film twice – first in the town square during a parade in a blue coat and brown hat (3rd minute of the film), then on the steps of the governor’s residence (14th minute).
- A more accurate translation of the original title is "Tropic of Capricorn".
- According to the autobiography of Michael Wilding (1912-1979), who starred in this film, once, while filming a love scene with Ingrid Bergman (1915-1982), director Alfred Hitchcock (1899-1980) suddenly yelled in pain, then calmly and politely asked for the camera to be moved slightly to the right, because, in shifting it, they had placed it on his foot. An X-ray later revealed a broken toe.
- Alfred Hitchcock initially attempted to film long, continuous ten-minute takes, as he did during the shooting of 'Rope' (1948), but this proved more difficult than it had been on the drama, which was limited to the walls of an apartment, so only a couple of scenes were shot in this way.
- Alfred Hitchcock was not at all surprised by the film's box office failure and negative critical reviews. He openly admitted that he made this film only to satisfy his own vanity, and because Ingrid Bergman was at that time the most popular actress in America and, importantly, was available for filming.
- Alfred Hitchcock planned to film a drama, however, the marketing department indicated on the posters that it was a film in the genres of detective and horror. When the film was released, the director was often criticized for the lack of nerve-wracking scenes compared to his previous films.
- A more accurate translation of the original title is "Capricorn One".
