 In an earlier version Andre Deveraux and Granville, the Russian spy, agree  to have an old fashioned duel with pistols in an empty stadium. But before  the duel begins, Granville is shot in the back by a Russian sniper to silence  him. This finale was deleted and a new one shot, because early audiences  didnt like it. These scenes were considered lost for many years, until  director Richard Franklin (I) (qv) discovered that they had been lying for  years in a can in Hitchcocks garage and were given by his daughter to the  Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences after her fathers death.
