Factual error: All the light switches are the wrong way round for UK, where up is off. Presumably because film sets were in USA.
Suspicion (1941)
1 factual error
Directed by: Alfred Hitchcock
Starring: Cary Grant, Nigel Bruce, Cedric Hardwicke, Joan Fontaine
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.
Johnnie Aysgarth: Hello Monkeyface.
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: Very last scene after they turn the car around and you see the back of their heads, to me it doesn't look like Cary Grant or Joan Fontaine? Is it them or their doubles?
Answer: Hitchcock had a different ending on the movie, but the studio and test audiences hated it. Grant ends up splitting up with Fontaine. Hitchcock was pressured into a happy ending, but weeks had passed since the end of filming and the two popular stars were off on other projects. Two actors were hired to as stand-ins for the added footage of the car turning around and the two going happily home together.
Answer: It could have been body doubles, who are often used for filler scenes like this, but there's no way to know for sure.
