Waltz in Suspicion??

Hey Movie folk, I'm trying to find the name of the waltz that runs throughout the Alfred Hitchcock film Suspicion as the love theme. Fontaine and Grant dance to it and at one point Cary Grant 'Johnny' whistles the tune. Looking at the soundtrack info I find The Vienna Blood Waltz/Wiener Blut. But I have downloaded this song and it is NOT the song I am after. So obviously the song listing on IMDB is not throrough. Help? Does anyone know the name of the fanciful little tune that Johnny whistles? Help!!

Thanks

The song used in the film definitely is the Wiener Blut Waltz, Op. 354 by Johann Strauss II.

Hitch didn't rely on music in his earlier films anywhere near as much as in his later work, but this waltz is just perfect for this film. After watching it several times, the waltz is really the only thing that sticks in my mind. That and the magnificent Joan Fontaine. They don't make them like that anymore.
