Most famous for being shot in a single continuous take except for one break to change film in the camera. The zoom to the wooden chest is the where the change take place.

(So I guess two takes, but still)

There were other breaks as Characters walked in front of the Camera very closely and the screen darkened because of their clothing.

The problem with the experiment is that people were concentrating on seeing where one Take ended and the next began. It became a game to me the first time I saw the Movie since I had read about it beforehand.

It wasn’t akin to counting the FIVE Hubcaps on the Dodge Charger in the Movie Bullet, but it take away my focus on the Plot.

This is also famous for being Hitchcock's first collaboration with Jimmy Stewart. They later went on to also make Rear Window, The Man Who Knew Too Much, and Vertigo.
