In interviews, Sir Alfred Hitchcock said that an RKO executive ordered that all scenes in which Cary Grant appeared menacing be excised from the movie. When the cutting was completed, the movie ran only fifty-five minutes. The scenes were later restored, Hitchcock said, because he shot each piece of film so that there was only one way to edit them together properly. This is a technique called 'in-camera editing', a trick Hitchcock had already employed a year before during filming of Rebecca, a Mulher Inesquecível (1940), to prevent producer David O. Selznick from interfering with the final cut of the movie.

Although Johnnie admits to Lina, after taking an extremely expensive house, that he is broke, they continue to live there, employ servants, and run a very expensive car. No explanation is made of how they can afford this. The job Johnnie later gets, in an estate manager's office, would pay only a small part of these running costs.

A colorized version of the film was produced. It has been available on VHS (Turner Home Entertainment) in NTSC format for a while. A dual black & white/colorized Region-2 DVD version has been released in 2003 by Universal in PAL format.
