2 unusual facts about Rich and Strange


Rich and Strange

In Colombo, British Ceylon, the couple accidentally and awkwardly end up next to each other in a rickshaw, not knowing the other had even gotten off the ship.

Released during Hitchcock's meagre period between The Lodger (1927) and his breakthrough hits The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934) and The 39 Steps (1935), Rich and Strange was a consummate failure at both the British and US box office.
