One day on the set Alfred Hitchcock handcuffed Robert Donat and Madeleine Carroll together and pretended for several hours to have lost the key Director Trademark: [Alfred Hitchcock] [stairs] Pamela listening to a conversation from the top of a staircase. The 62 imported sheep, upon arriving at the sound stage, immediately went to work on the bracken and bushes that had been brought with them.
