Continuity mistake: Johnnie, Lina and Beaky are playing anagrams. Lina spells out the word MURDER with an M as the first letter. The shot cuts away and then back again, and now the first letter is an inverted W. (01:01:40)

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: 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.
