Line 17: The project, originally to come after ''[[I Confess (film)\|I Confess]]'' (1953) as a [[Transatlantic Pictures]] production to be released by [[Warner Brothers]], had a high budget which made it a difficult project.<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=Bf5l0qtZabMC&pg=PA456&lpg=PA456&dq=david+duncan+the+bramble+bush&source=bl&ots=U8psC0NI4c&sig=3EM1D6BRMmJQou9rE3kkGA1GlmQ&hl=en&ei=fxC-TIfDDoyqsAPSpqD7DA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CCUQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q=david%20duncan%20the%20bramble%20bush&f=false Patrick McGilligan, ''Alfred Hitchcock: A Life in Darkness and Light'' (2002) via Google Books]</ref> Hitchcock did not feel that any of the scripts lifted the movie beyond an ordinary chase story, and Warner Brothers allowed him to kill the project and move on to ''[[Dial M for Murder]]'' (1954). The theme of the hero assuming a dangerous new identity would become the kernel of the script for ''[[North by Northwest]]'' (1959). [[Michelangelo Antonioni]]'s film ''[[The Passenger (film)\|The Passenger]]'' (1975) tells a similar story, but is not based on Duncan's book.<ref name="ordinaryleastsquare.typepad.com"/> The 1960 film ''[[The Bramble Bush]]'', starring [[Richard Burton]] and [[Barbara Rush]], and released by Warner Brothers, was based on a Charles Mergendahl novel, and had no relation to Duncan's book. == ''Flamingo Feather'' (1956) ==
