Line 26:
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: It's pretty clear that Brandon and Phillip are in a relationship, even considering the strict censorship of the time. That said, this was apparently clearer in the play.
** Which leads to [[Depraved Homosexual]]
* [[
* [[Guilt Ridden Accomplice]]: Phillip.
* [[Have a Gay Old Time]]: "I just couldn't be the gay girl anymore".
Line 34:
* [[MacGuffin]]: It's Hitch, so it's pretty much required. In this case, it's David's body.
* [[Never Trust a Trailer]]: The trailer shows {{spoiler|the final scene of Rupert finding out about David's murder}} thus eliminating a lot of the suspense.
* [[Nietzsche Wannabe]]: Our two "heroes" decide that David's "inferiority" justifies his death. Rupert Cadell also counts, considering the murder was inspired by his rhetoric, but he {{spoiler|[[My God, What Have I Done?|renounces his way of thinking once he realizes what happened.]]}}
* [[The Oner]]: Hitchcock wanted to make the film one long, continuous shot. Sadly, this wasn't feasible with the technology of the time: film would run out after about ten minutes, so the camera would zoom in on some person or something, and zoom out when it cuts. But because film reels in the cinema would run out after twenty minutes and need to be changed over, some cuts are straightforward and normal.
* [[The Perfect Crime]]: Brandon brags that it is "the perfect murder", which leads to him being so cocky about it.
* [[Playing Against Type]]: James Stewart as Rupert Cadell.
* [[Reverse Whodunnit]]: We know the two are guilty; the only question is if they can get away with it.
* [[Ripped
* [[Sissy Villain]]: Brandon and Phillip.
