With no known link between the two men, the police would be none the wiser, would they? Hitchcock himself designed Bruno's lobster necktie, revealed in a close-up to have strangling lobster claws,[26] and "he personally selected an orange peel, a chewing-gum wrapper, wet leaves, and a bit of crumpled paper that were used for sewer debris"[22] in the scene where Bruno inadvertently drops Guy's lighter down the storm drain.

Then a grip put a normal-sized phone on the table, where she picked it up. Bruno sends Guy a package containing a pistol, a house key, and a map showing the location of his father's bedroom. Hitchcock insists on perfection. It is a twisting story of a male-on-male relationship that Patricia Highsmith often proffered (same-sex, male or female) in her best novels like this one.
