Wardrobe trivia: Cary Grant’s suit was provided by the Savile Row tailor Kilgour. Clothes On Film suggests that Hitchcock probably let Grant select his own wardrobe, but didn’t trust co-star Eva Marie Saint with her own sartorial choices; Hitchcock took his blonde leading lady to Bergdorf Goodman and picked out her on-screen attire himself. She likened the experience to shopping with a sugar-daddy.
