Factual error: All the light switches are the wrong way round for UK, where up is off. Presumably because film sets were in USA.

Continuity mistake: When Johnnie and Lina arrive back from their honeymoon, they decide to have tea and cake in their new home. Johnnie picks up the tea pot and starts to pour the tea, but then he picks up the tea pot for a second time and starts again to pour the tea.
Lina McLaidlaw Aysgarth: When he enticed his victim across the footbridge, knowing that the bridge has been sawn through.
Isobel Sedbusk: He also knew that his victim couldn't swim. Don't forget that.
Lina McLaidlaw Aysgarth: Well, what I want to know is this. Would you call that an actual murder?
Isobel Sedbusk: Well, from a moral standpoint there's no question at all. It is murder.
Trivia: Alfred Hitchcock's cameo occurs about 47 minutes into the movie. When Mrs Newsham parks her car outside the post office, Hitchcock can be seen putting a letter into the postbox.
Question: Was Lina supposed to open the necklace box when Johnnie gave it to her on the patio with the other gifts from the horse race? She tries a few times and can't.
