Anecdotes
Sir Alfred Hitchcock, as was his custom, created detailed storyboards for each scene. He could not understand Montgomery Clift's method acting technique and quickly became frustrated with Clift when he blew take after take for failing to follow Hitchcock's directions.

Gaffes
Just before Logan accidentally smashes the car window when he's attacked by the mob, the window can be seen to have been "pre-cracked" to allow it to break upon impact.

Citations
Fr. Michael William Logan: I never thought of the priesthood as offering a hiding place.

Forgotten, with a capital F

"I Confess" is a strong candidate for Hitchcock's most forgotten film. It never gets mentioned in any Hitchcock documentaries or when discussing about his movies. The film doesn't offer the usual amount of excitement or thrilling entertainment than his better known ones ("North by Northwest", for instance). In fact, there isn't much of "real" suspense at all, but well-sketched characters, fine acting performances, and captivating plot development are more than compensating matters.

"I Confess" is a very interesting piece of film making and should be viewed by any Hitchcock fan.
