• Movie Goof (continuity error): While Tony is first meeting with Swann, he holds a cane in front of him while seated. In some shots he rests his chin on top of the cane; in other shots the cane is clearly far too short to reach his chin.
• John Williams won the 1953 Tony Award (New York City) for Supporting or Features Actor in a Drama for "Dial M for Murder" as Inspector Hubbard and recreated the role in the movie version.
• Movie Goof (errors in geography): FLOOR PLAN doesn't match script. The kitchen is clearly visible from the camera angle. It would create an L shaped apartment, going under the stairs, yet the officers are told to go out back which would slam them into the kitchen wall. Also there are no bars on the window as the script mentions, assuming they would be on the outside wall (which can be seen).
• Movie Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Swann arrives at Wendice's flat, Wendice tells him they went to the same college but that Swann wouldn't recognize him because he (Wendice) had only arrived in Swann's last year. But immediately afterward Wendice takes the reunion dinner photo from his wall, showing Swann sitting right beside Wendice. Leaving aside the matter of why Swann and Wendice would be attending the same reunion since they had graduated years apart, Swann never contradicts Wendice's assertion that they hadn't seen one another in the 20 years since college.
