Character mistake: Ancient Persians had a penchant for capital punishment and elaborate tortures, but tying a woman to a column and/or strangling her from behind were not "the way the ancient Persians used to execute a murderess", despite what Lombard says. (00:33:50)
Character mistake: When the record plays, after Vera emphatically fists her own mouth, Hugh Lombard is called out on the murder of "Jennifer Hayes." A couple scenes later Vera is in the kitchen and asks him "What about that girl?" as they share a glass of milk. Lombard then asks back "Carol Hayes?" Spoiler; It may not be a plot hole but a mistake made by the character, since he is not the real Lombard but rather someone else posing as him. (00:18:10 - 00:32:10)
