TRIVIA
Audrey Hepburn's film residence is at 4 St.
Luke's Place in Manhattan.
When the film was released, the theatres darkened all their lights "to the
legal limit" during the last twelve minutes of the film, each light going
out as Audrey Hepburn smashed each light bulb. The one remaining light in
the theatres would be switched off as the last light source in the film went
out.
Although she later admitted that she didn't intend to do so, Audrey Hepburn
retired from films after this role, turning down all parts offered to her in
order to devote time to raising her children. She would eventually return to
the screen several more times, beginning with Robin and Marian (1976).
During the credits there is no credit for costumes, this is because Audrey
Hepburn herself picked the clothes she wore from the stores in Paris.
Hepburn tried to get this film shot in Europe, but relented when she was
told not filming it in the US might have led to the closure of underused
studio facilities in Hollywood.
The role that eventually went to Alan Arkin was difficult to cast because
the producers couldn't find actors willing to be cast in such a villainous
role -- not only terrorizing a blind woman, but terrorizing beloved Audrey
Hepburn to boot!
