Gloved hand around the 38 minute mark

How does the boyfriend and the blackmailer each have one of her gloves when it is clearly made a point that she is missing ne on her walk home from the murder!! It flashes back and forth to her hands, the crossing guards out stretched hand and to the rapists dead hanging hand! And she is very clearly wearing ONE glove! So how on earth do they both find one! She doesn't have three hands! This must've been a goof since it is definitely made a point to the viewer to notice her one hand missing a glove!!?!?

Yeah, after 38 minutes one of those gloves is on her left hand. The scene must have been shot prior to the 36 minute mark in which she's seen leaving the flat and the apartment house wearing no gloves at all. Obviously the result of quick re-writes and an oversight on the part of Hitchcock.

Okay folks, show's over, nothing to see here!
