Am I alone in thinking that the incident in Vertigo where Midge dresses up, to Scotty's horror, as the 'Carlotta' portrait derives from the 2nd Mrs de Winter's being deceived by Mrs Danvers, in the much earlier Rebecca, into dressing up for the ball in reproduction of the costume of Rebecca's portrait, which of course, as Mrs D has known throughout that it would, immeasurably distresses her husband Maxim?

And I reiterate that this part of Vertigo is an apparent confusion on director's & scriptwriters' parts ~~ Midge has never seen the Carlotta portrait, & knows nothing of the 'Madeleine' side of Scotty's life, or her obsession with the portrait, which is one of the causes of the behaviour of his which she finds so worrying, & is trying to tease him out of with this masquerade. I have never found anyone else who had noticed this, as the narrative momentum carries the moment thru, or could justify this apparent plot-solecism to me. Can anyone here? Or have I overlooked or missed something here?
