* SpiritualSuccessor: [[JustForFun/XMeetsY It mixes]] two of Hitchcock's frequent recurring storylines -- a SerialKiller is on the loose, and a wrongfully-accused man seeking to [[ClearMyName Clear His Name]] is forced to go on the run. ''Kaleidoscope'', his aborted SerialKiller film that evolved into ''Frenzy'', was originally conceived as a prequel to ''Film/ShadowOfADoubt'', and Rusk, as a charming man who's also on a killing spree, definitely has similarities to Uncle Charlie from that film, as well as a few hints of both [[Film/StrangersOnATrain Bruno Antony]] and [[Film/{{Psycho}} Norman Bates]].

The title--a six letter, two syllable word connoting madness--also sounds like it was meant to evoke ''Psycho''.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: It was filmed at Covent Garden when the place was still a very busy fruit and veg market, not the tourist attraction it is today.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: It was filmed at Covent Garden when the place was still a very busy fruit and veg market, not the tourist attraction it is today. Perhaps averted, given that Hitchcock, the son of a London market porter, was well aware that the market was due to close in a few years.

** A humorous one but when Oxford's wife suggest a alcoholic drink for Spearman, she recommends a margarita to which Spearman has never heard of. When she describes it both Spearman and Oxford look flabbergasted by her description of the drink. The humor delved from how she discovered it from her exotic cooking class and it seems like such a weird drink but these days margarita's are a very common alcoholic drink everyone knows about.
