While quite enjoyable dialogue & banter, I just couldn't buy into Lina never walking away from Johnnie. Has she zero self-respect? She's the most levelheaded in the film about everything else.
Anyways, I actually like the cinematic ending it was dealt by the studio - I've read the alts & they would've been a full failure of Lina's existence. At least this one is a payoff of sorts & puts a puzzle together.

Hitchcock would've had her drink the poisoned milk only after giving a sealed letter for her mother to Johnnie to mail... saying she knew he was killing her, yet she too in love to care. Nonsense - she'd been hesitant since his lying about his finances midway through.
