Notorious

Hitchcock also claimed that during the shooting the FBI was watching him, as the film featured the uranium for the atomic bomb and the Manhattan project (the project on creation of atomic bomb in USA) was then the main military secret of America. Supposedly the FBI is interested Hitchcock after he and Hecht in may or June 1945 visited Dr. Millikan at Caltech and talked with him about the possibility of creating nuclear weapons. Any documentary evidence of surveillance by the FBI for Hitchcock, no. But it is known that in may 1945, Selznick received from the FBI warning, in which he reported that all of the films in question are the officers of American intelligence, needs to obtain prior to release of the approval of the relevant state bodies.

Interestingly, the large difference in growth between Claude Rains and Ingrid Bergman was so striking that when they appeared in the frame beside, Raines had to substitute the box. During the filming of the scene where they meet, to meet each other, had to expose the rough wooden platform, which was raised as soon as Raines approached the camera.

Eminent film critic Roger Ebert has admitted that "notoriety" is his favorite movie. In 1991, he included it in his list of the ten greatest films in history.

Although he's always claimed to have invented the story of the uranium, which was stored in wine bottles, long before the nuclear strikes on Japan (even while working on the script with Hecht in early 1945), and thus was something of a prophet, who predicted the atomic bomb, the evidence suggests that appropriate changes in the script were made shortly before the start of filming in the autumn of 1945, i.e. after the atomic bomb was already dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Cameo Director (60 min.) — Hitchcock appears on the big reception at the house of Alex Sebastian. He was one of the guests, drinking champagne.

While working on the film Hitchcock poked fun at the restrictions that existed at the time in Hollywood. In particular, the on-screen kiss by the rules of that time were not supposed to last more than a couple of seconds. Hitchcock figured out how to work around this limitation: his characters constantly exchanging light kisses, moving across the room to the caller phone.
