Ben Hecht's screenplay adapts a Francis Beeding novel for producer David O. Selznick. The quest to recover memories largely unfolds through a dream interpretation, with Salvador Dalí contributing to the design of the sets and visuals. This collaboration directly connects the surrealist painter’s work to the investigation envisioned by Hitchcock.
