...Hitchcock gingerly made use of the relative freedom RKO accorded established directors by doing retakes during production – something he had not been permitted to do on Rebecca until Selznick had decided what was needed in post production. One such inspiration, shot the day after he had filmed a conventional close-up of Lombard looking lovingly at Robert Montgomery over breakfast, is the image he substituted of their feet under the table, with Lombard’s toes inserted comfortably into Montgomery’s trouser cuffs...

I've always liked that shot - really shows off how in love they are :)
