* [[Adaptation Displacement]]: The film is loosely based on ''The Rainbird Pattern'' (1972), a thriller novel by Victor Canning. Due to its connection with Hitchckock, it is now better remembered than the novel.
* [[The Cameo]]: Alfred Hitchcock makes an appearance in silhouette behind the door marked [[Harsher in Hindsight|Register of Births and Deaths.]]
* [[City
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: The dialogue is loaded with [[Double Entendre]].
* [[John Williams]]: Scored the Film. His one and only collaboration with Hitchcock.
* [[Leaning
* [[Phony Psychic]]: Blanche Tyler.
** Possibly subverted in the very last scene.
* [[Vehicular Sabotage]]: The brakes on George's car are tampered with, sending he and Blanche hysterically careening down a winding mountain road.
* [[Throw It In]]: The actors were told that they could ad lib parts of their dialogue.
* [[Villain
* [[What Could Have Been]]: [[Al Pacino]] and [[Jack Nicholson]] were considered for the role of Lumley.
** Originally Alfred Hitchcock himself was supposed to walk down the stairs and wink at the audience instead of Barbara Harris. Ultimately he decided against it.
