Sir Sean Connery had been worried that being under contract to Eon Productions for James Bond and non-Bond movies would limit his career, and turned down every non-Bond movie Eon offered him. When asked what he wanted to do, Connery replied that he wanted to work with Alfred Hitchcock, which Eon arranged through their contacts. Connery also shocked many people at the time by asking to see a script, something Connery did because he was worried about being typecast as a spy, and he did not want to do a variation of Intrigo internazionale (1959) or Notorious - L'amante perduta (1946). When told by Hitchcock's agent that Cary Grant did not ask to see even one of Hitchcock's scripts, Connery replied, "I'm not Cary Grant." Hitchcock and Connery got along well during filming. Connery also said that he was happy with the movie, "with certain reservations."
