They jump together in the next shot when she places the thermometer in his mouth. 166169 In the scene where Lt. Doyle quickly drinks his brandy, he spills a fair bit on the lapel collar of his pale grey suit. He wipes it off and turns to go, but as we see him leaving, the suit suddenly looks quite dry. It could not dry off like that in only a few seconds. 113578 When a man carrying a big block of ice passes by the sculptress's backyard, we see her cat sitting on a chair next to her as she works on her "Hunger" sculpture. In one shot, the cat is facing toward the man, and in the next, it is facing away him when it gets up, turns around, and meows at him. 6313 James Stewart uses a camera flashgun to defend himself by repeatedly temporarily blinding Thorvald in the closing scene. The number of flashbulbs in the cardboard box drops by two between cuts as Stewart wheels himself back away from Thorvald.
