Hitchcock had already directed Leighton in 1949 in the rarely-seen Under Capricorn, which -- breaking the thriller genre he's known for -- is basically a romantic melodrama. It's his second film in Technicolor and exhibits his experimental side by utilizing the 10-minute take that distinguished his earlier film, Rope. Leighton won her first Tony for her role in Separate Tables and opposite Bette Davis in Williams' Night of the Iguana. Her last Broadway performance was in 1967 in Hellman's The Little Foxes. The courageous Marsha Hunt was blacklisted by Hollywood studio executives for her lefist ideals and defense of free speech from 1949 until 1957, during which time she hardly found work at all. She's now the honorary mayor of Sherman Oaks, CA, incidentally.
