* DeletedScene: The film's screenplay originally contained a failed first murder attempt. This sequence was actually shot but was cut out because it was felt it slowed down the movie's pace. However, footage from this botched attack was merged with filmed material from the successful kill, to form the one successful job on the husband in the movie. If one looks closely, one can see the design on the bedsheets is different--footage from the first crack used tighter shots so that this would not be noticed.
* EditedForSyndication: At least one commercial television print, for some reason, completely eliminates the key sequence where Richard Crenna's character is killed.
