Garden scene with James and Maggie (spoiler)


One of the finest scenes in the film, but for one odd point. James had by then already furnished Bill's phone call alibi to Inspector Marshall. Yet Maggie only tells James that Bill has "cooked up some alibi...or gotten someone to lie for him". Seems unlikely that the Inspector would not have told Maggie that James is the one who verified Bill's statement. Or perhaps the Inspector is keenly deciding not to show all his cards just yet.
