Actress Judith Evelyn also appeared in Alfred Hitchcock's film Rear Window (1954), which has a remarkably similar plot.
Ben Verber grumbles to his wife, Amelia, that she is serving him "scrapple" for supper, and she responds that it is too hot to cook. Scrapple is a traditional Pennsylvania Dutch dish made from pork scraps and trimmings; a hybrid meatloaf-sausage, usually had as breakfast.
