幕后花絮

助理导演艾玛·雷维尔在拍摄完这部《房客》之后，成为希区柯克的妻子。

英文版本：

Alfred Hitchcock wanted an ambiguous ending to the film,but the studio wouldn't allow it to be implied that the lodger might actually be the murderer.

The movie is based on the book of the same name. It was the first book to offer a solution to the Jack The Ripper killings. The book is supposedly based on an anecdote told to the painter Walter Sickert by the landlady when renting a room; she said that the previous tenant had been Jack the Ripper.

Director Cameo: [Alfred Hitchcock] a desk in the newsroom early in the film. Some people claim he also appears later in the crowd lynch scene.

Hitchcock told Fran ois Truffaut that,though he had made two films prior to this,he considered this his first true film.

Debut of Reginald Gardiner.

This is the earliest film directed by Alfred Hitchcock that survives today in its entirety.

瑕疵 Goofs

Continuity:After "the lodger" escapes handcuffed,Daisy met him sitting on a bank in the street. Then she sits down side by side with him. After that he puts his head on her right shoulder,with his face touching her face. Between shots she appears alone with nobody on her shoulder.

Continuity:In one of the heralded shots of the film,Daisy and her parents look at the ceiling to see the chandelier shaking. We then see "through" the ceiling to a shot of the Lodger's feet pacing back and forth. This was a unique way to imply the sound of footsteps in a silent film. However,looking at the layout of the house,the room the family is in is NOT beneath the room in which the Lodger is pacing.

对白 Quotes

Joe Betts:When I've put a rope round the Avenger's neck,I'll put a ring around Daisy's finger.

[first lines] Female eyewitness:Tall he was - and his face all wrapped up.

[last lines] The Landlady:Your toothbrush - you left it behind.

Joe Betts:Does this lodger of yours mean any harm to Daisy? The Landlady:Don't be silly,Joe. He's not that sort. Joe Betts:Even if he's a bit queer,he's a gentleman.
