My best exits are the 1's that I say some acid remark, turn around (Joan Crawford style) and walk out.....My entrances are filled with so much confidence ...I usually make everyone stop & stare....

I never like Julie Andrews in "Torn Curtain"....I was always waiting for her to bust into song about spies or something to this effect!
-
I read in a book that Janet Leigh never took a shower again after she filmed "Psycho" & that she only stuck with baths!

Per Wikipedia:
A MacGuffin (sometimes McGuffin) is a plot device that motivates the characters or advances the story, but the details of which are of little or no importance otherwise.
The MacGuffin is common in films, especially thrillers. Commonly, though not always, the MacGuffin is the central focus of the film in the first act, and later declines in importance as the struggles and motivations of characters play out. Sometimes the MacGuffin is all but forgotten by the end of the film
Also:
The director and producer Alfred Hitchcock popularized both the term "MacGuffin" and the technique. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, Hitchcock explained the term in a 1939 lecture at Columbia University: "[We] have a name in the studio, and we call it the 'MacGuffin.' It is the mechanical element that usually crops up in any story. In crook stories it is most always the necklace and in spy stories it is most always the papers."

I would have played Nancy Drew W./Det. Lt. Thomas J. Doyle..there was something about him that always caught my eye!
-
The 1 character that bugs me in "Rear Window" is Miss Lonelyheart!! I care more about what happens to her than what happend to Mrs. Thorwald!! Mabey Miss Lonelyheart is really the "McGuffin"!?!?!

Rita Hayworth used to say -- 'they go to bed with Gilda -- they wake up with me.' Do you feel that?
WILLIAM
Who was Gilda?
ANNA
Her most famous part -- men went to bed
with the dream -- and they didn't like
it when they woke up with the reality --
do you feel that way with me?
WILLIAM
You're lovelier this morning than you
have ever been.
