Alright so we've established it's a Hitchcock film. Here's another clue.
Hitch had a long-standing grudge with his former producer, David O. Selznick. The director believed Selznick had meddled too much with his movies, so much so that Hitchcock actually disowned his first film with the producer, Rebecca. His ties to Selznick ended with the 1947 movie The Paradine Case, though, so Hitch decided to enact a sly bit of revenge onscreen.
It involved this movie's villain. Hitchcock gave the actor glasses just like Selznick’s and other facial features to match. He also instructed him to adopt many of the producer's mannerisms, such as the way he cradled a telephone in his neck. When all was said and done, the murderous character looked a lot like Selznick, no doubt to the producer’s supreme annoyance.

Another clue: this was the only movie Grace Kelly ever smoked in while on screen.
Rear Window. Took a lot of cheating to find that out.
Ring ding ding! Give that man a Kewpie doll. Are you home, brother? If so I'll get a forum fiver out tomorrow morning.

First clue: the main character has a partner named Gus, it's a Christmas movie of sorts
