Did You Know?
| Trivia | Mario Bava was a big fan of Alfred Hitchcock, and Hitchcockian touches abound in the film, including a cameo by the director. In the scene where Letícia Román is in her bedroom at Ethel's home, the portrait on the wall with the eyes that keep following her is that of Mario Bava. See more » |
| Goofs | When Nora answers the phone in the Torrani house, "hello" is heard before she speaks, even while the receiver is being lifted to her mouth. See more » |
