 An addition to the ending was made for some European coutries due to certain  laws prohibiting a film from letting a "bad guy" get away at the end of a  film.  In the new ending, after Scottie looks down from the belltower (the  original ending) there is a shot of Midge sitting next to a radio listening  to reports of police tracking down Gavin Elster.  As Midge turns off the  radio the news flash also reports that 3 Berkeley students got caught  bringing a cow up the stairs of a campus building.  Scottie enters the room,  looks at Midge plainly, and then looks out a window.  Midge makes two drinks  and gives one to Scottie.  It ends with both of them looking out the window.   This ending can be found on the restoration laserdisc.
