Continuity mistake: When Phyllis first visits Walter's apartment she said he forgot his hat. When you watch the scene as he's leaving her house, on the way to the door he picks his hat up from a small table and puts it on.
Suggested correction: This is not an error - Walter is being openly facetious about him forgetting his hat.
Continuity mistake: When McMurray enters his office at the start of the film, he places his hand on the table and sits down. The position of the hand is different between shots.
Walter Neff: That was all there was to it.Nothing had slipped, nothing had been overlooked.There was nothing to give us away. And yet, Keyes, as I was walking down the street to the drugstore, suddenly, it came over me that everything would go wrong. It sounds crazy Keyes, but it's true, so help me, I couldn't hear my own footsteps. It was the walk of a dead man.
Trivia: Fred MacMurray wears his real-life wedding ring throughout the movie. His character in the movie is single.
