"Frenzy" was the third and final film that Hitchcock made in Britain after he moved to Hollywood in 1939. The other two were "Under Capricorn" in 1949 and "Stage Fright" in 1950 (but there were some interior and exterior scenes filmed in London for the 1956 remake of "The Man Who Knew Too Much"). The last film he had made in Britain before his move to America was "Jamaica Inn" (1939). The film was screened at the 1972 Cannes Film Festival, but was not entered into the main competition.
