Seven of the thirteen characters from the Calais Coach can be seen in the kidnapping sequence that opens the movie, although director Sidney Lumet takes great pains to obscure their familiar faces: Ratchett (Richard Widmark) holds the blanketed Daisy to his face in the bedroom and hallway, down the staircase and out through the kitchen's service entrance. Greta (Ingrid Bergman) is gagged and bound to an overturned chair, shown only from behind as she struggles to break free. Beddoes (John Gielgud) is cushed from behind by Ratchett's accomplice, and falls to the ground with his back to the camera. One flight above, Hildegarde Schmidt (Rachel Roberts) looks down, putting her hands to her face in petrified response, with a ceiling light casting a stark glare to mask her features. Hardman (Colin Blakely) can be seen in a darkened long shot, exiting the Garden House with Paulette, the maid. Foscarelli (Denis Quilley) is run off the road by the getaway car, and emerges from the Armstrongs' Rolls-Royce to catch a glimpse of Ratchett's escape route. And, with her back to the camera, Mary Debenham (Vanessa Redgrave) exits Colonel Armstrong's plane with Mrs. Armstrong, clearing a path for the distraught couple through the crowd of clamoring newsmen; Redgrave's partial profile is then seen in the photo that accompanies the next newspaper headline.
