Massey received a Tony nomination for her role when the production moved to New York. Adrianne Allen was her mother; a talented family!

"Hitchcock loved corny jokes & wordplay. Once when we'd sat through a terribly slow rehearsal he said: 'Too many dog's feet! What do I mean?'
"And I said 'Pawses'β¦ and he was thrilled that I understood his sense of humour."
