Could you elaborate more on some of Hitchcock's ditched efforts such as Kaleidoscope, The Blind Man, and others? Which do you find most intriguing? Which do you think Hitch most regretted not making?

Which 5 acting performances do you think were most effective in conveying the "touch" or recurring themes Hitchcock exercised? They do not have to receive top billing or be in a leading role.

Suspicion, Joan Fontaine is easy to follow for the audience who also want to trust Cary Grant Perhaps I will gain a greater appreciation for Lifeboat and The Trouble with Harry i
