==Music==
In addition to the original music composed by [[John Reynders]], the film uses the opening of [[Richard Wagner]]'s ''[[Tristan und Isolde]]'' [[prelude (music)|prelude]] as background (supposedly a radio broadcast that Sir John is listening to) in the shaving scene. For the filming, an orchestra played the music live on the set.{{citation needed|date=December 2013}}
 
For the filming, an orchestra played the music live on the set. Hitchcock described the filming of this scene to [[Francois Truffaut]] in the book-length interview ''Hitchcock/Truffaut'' (New York: [[Simon and Schuster]], 1967). In the early days of [[sound film]], there was no way to [[dubbing (filmmaking)|post-dub]] sound, so Hitchcock had Herbert Marshall's voice recorded on a phonograph record, which was played back during the filming of the scene, while the orchestra played the background music live (supposedly playing on the radio in Sir John's bathroom).
