What's big, grey, and has two tusks?

What's big, grey, and has two tusks? - You'll see at the end of this comment. Warning: Contains spoiler!
Rear Window is one of Hitchcock's best known pictures - and probably rightful so. Everything from camera-work to editing in each and every scene is simply brilliant. Also the acting is great, not only by Stewart, but down to every supporting character. However, what really annoyed me and what kept me from giving a top-notch vote is the script.
Not far into the movie we are made to believe that the neighbour killed his wife. Every scene that follows enforces this point. And what do we find out in the end? Guess what...
So, what's big, grey, and has two tusks? - An elephant!
Feeling a bit let down? Well, so did I.
