Evil Makes You Ugly | |
| Midnight Lace / int_4ee487f2 | comment |
Evil Makes You Ugly: Played straight with Anthony Dawson's character, and even lampshaded by a barmaid in one scene. Subverted with Tony, who turns out to be the one who has been terrorizing Kit the whole time. | |

Police Are Useless | |
| Midnight Lace / int_59907e4f | comment |
Police Are Useless: Played straight for most of the movie as they spend more time questioning Kit's sanity than trying to find her stalker. Subverted at the end when the police show up just in the nick of time. | |

Idiot Ball | |
| Midnight Lace / int_7286e96d | comment |
Idiot Ball: With Tony and Kit getting ready to leave for Venice, there is no reason for Tony to expose Kit to danger instead of just staying with her until they leave. Again, subverted because Tony is actually the one who's trying to kill her. | |

Red Herring | |
| Midnight Lace / int_dbca2c99 | comment |
Red Herring: At various times, different clues suggest that Brian, Malcolm, Charles, or Roy could each be the culprit. None of those clues point toward the real would-be killer, who's eventually revealed to be Tony. | |
