BEHIND THE SCENES TRIVIA : One of the first movies to have a point of view shot showing the killer's perspective. Laird Cregar's screen presence and performance created such a sensation that Twentieth Century-Fox planned to cash in on its find by putting him in similar roles in other productions. The first of these was Hangover Square (1945), which re-united director John Brahm, screenwriter Barré Lyndon and co-star George Sanders. The plans were cut short after Cregar had a fatal heart attack at the end of the year. "Hangover Square" would be released after his death. This is a remake of Alfred Hitchcock's 1927 version, also entitled The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog (1927) and based on the same source material. The movie was later remade by 20th Century Fox as Man in the Attic (1953), starring Jack Palance as Slade. The remake was released under Fox's Panoramic Productions label. Barré Lyndon's screenplay was updated for the remake by Robert Presnell Jr., and Hugo Friedhofer's music score was also re-used. The remake was shot on the same sets and utilized footage from this film of the London police pursuing Jack the Ripper through the streets and over the rooftops.
