During the shooting of "Imperial Soul", Alfred Hitchcock divided a film into eight sections, covering the black screen with a close-up of the character's back or the lid, or using the character's sight as the editing point.
Alfred Hitchcock adopted the "one mirror to the end" shooting method in "Imperial Soul". In order to achieve the effect, all the cast and crew conducted a 10-day rehearsal before the film was officially filmed.
Because of the color of the sky, the crew spent 9 days reshooting the film.
All the shooting scenes of "Imperial Soul" were completed in a small room.
The first time the film was shot, the radio equipment was abandoned and only the picture was taken. The second time the film was taken, the camera was dropped and only the sound was taken; then, the production staff combined the sound and the picture in the post-production stage.
"Imperial Soul" is the first color film shot by Alfred Hitchcock. In order to avoid the tendency of overuse and chaotic use of colors, Hitchcock reduced the use of colors in the film.
When Alfred Hitchcock saw that the timing and plot of the script coincided with each other, he decided to shoot the film as a one-shot movie.

I thought it didn't show the beauty of danger and seduction at all. But you can still give it four stars for the smooth long shots and the as always exquisite scene clothing and other hardware.

Not the usual reasoning about finding a murderer, but witnessing the characters to discover the crime, everything takes place in the living room, the use of the camera is unique, and the ending is nerve-wracking. The theme is about the influence of World War II, talking about the pros and cons of human beings and the power to deal with life, criminals commit suicide because of arrogance.
