* Shortly after the release of the film, a novelty song called "The Trouble with Harry" was released by Alfi and Harry -- actually [[Franchise/AlvinAndTheChipmunks Ross Bagdasarian, Sr.]] (who'd been in ''Film/RearWindow'') under a pseudonym.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Hitchcock's preference was to reunite the leads of ''Film/ToCatchAThief'' and have Creator/CaryGrant as Sam and Creator/GraceKelly as Jennifer, but Grant was too expensive for what Hitchcock envisioned as a smaller-budget film, and Kelly had contract issues with her home studio Creator/MetroGoldwynMayer. For a while Hitchcock toyed with another ''To Catch a Thief'' castmember, Brigitte Auber, as Jennifer, before realizing a French actress in a movie set in Vermont wouldn't really work. Creator/WilliamHolden was the next choice for Sam, but things didn't work out.
