* SpoilAtYourOwnRisk: The twist ending that they implore you to keep secret. Most productions of the play even bill themselves as "the longest-running secret in the history of theatre!", or variations to that effect. Most people actually obey. A joke among theatre insiders tells of an American couple going to see ''The Mousetrap'', tipping their cabbie poorly, and having "TheButlerDidIt!" yelled at their departing backs. Fear not if you are spoiler-averse: there is no butler character in ''The Mousetrap''. Even nowadays one can hear the viewers' gasps of shock and amazement during TheReveal in the theatre, so the secret has been kept surprisingly well.

Unless this is a possessive meaning "belonging to 1950", the apostrophe is incorrect.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: In 1952 this was a contemporary play. A mention of ration books meant this was already showing its age just two years later when rationing was abolished. The radio being the source of news and entertainment, the fashions (possibly much more overtly "1950's" than they would have been in the actual 1950's), and especially the shock of a woman wearing trousers cement this firmly in a narrow time period.
