July 3, 1951 –
An under-appreciated Hitchcock classic, Strangers on a Train, starring Farley Granger, Ruth Roman, Robert Walker and Patricia Hitchcock was released on this date.
In the scene where Ruth Roman and Patricia Hitchcock are watching the tennis match, Ruth gives Patricia a real U.S. ten dollar bill. Showing real U.S. money in movies then was illegal without permission from the U.S. Treasury Department. The Treasury Department later removed the prohibition for Psycho and later movies.
