Surprised no experts have answered this yet. I'm not an expert, but I did look at some of the film on YouTube - and the imdb details - and it is indeed the Poulenc piece. Can't recall if it's actually performed on piano onscreen (someone must remember) but the Main Titles are an adaptation of it anyway.

Well, this expert didn't happen to see your thread until just now, or you would have heard from me before this.
I've loved the Poulenc ever since I was a kid hearing it for the first time played by Oscar Levant on a 10" Columbia LP, "Music For Moderns." It was a great collection, including more Poulenc, plus Debussy, De Falla and others. (It's finally been released as part of a Levant CD.)
The original piece, as you can hear, is quite the light-hearted romp, nothing like the version with which Hitch began his movie. (I think it was arranged by Ray Heindorf, but I'd have to look it up to be certain after all this time.) If anyone wants to listen to that much slower, moodier, orchestral version from the film, happily, it was recorded on one of Silva's Hiftchcock anthologies.
