cutezz Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Hello all Does anyone have any good Hitch trivia??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredCDobbs Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Here?s an easy one. A line of dialogue. Name the movie: ?I've heard that one before, too. I remind you of someone you used to be madly in love with, but she ditched you for another guy, and you've been carrying the torch ever since, and then you saw me and something clicked.?

MrWriteLA Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Nope. (Does he speak in that, or is he just making noise as part of a crowd of people?) (Answering my own question: I just looked it up. He's holding a camera in that one, and doesn't speak.) Message was edited by: MrWriteLA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I believe it was a silent but I think they added sound to it to compete in the sound market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWriteLA Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Nope, that's not it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredCDobbs Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Seems like I recall him grumbling to some kid. Something about the camera. But, if you have something more specific in mind, I'll keep thinking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWriteLA Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Oh, yes, the words are very clearly spoken, and not obscured by other noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWriteLA Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 No. You guys should be looking much later in his career. HINT: There's a reason for him to speak in this particular film. It's different from the others in a specific way, and his usual jokey "appearance" would have been out of place because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWriteLA Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Absolutely correct. Being a true-life story about a grievous miscarriage of justice, it wasn't exactly the sort of thing in which he could be seen trying to shove a bass viol onto a train. Instead, he speaks directly to the audience in a prologue, giving them the context of the story. Well done, path40a. Over to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
path40a Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Which B&W Hitchcock film has 1/12 of a second interposed with a single Technicolor? Which color and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackBurley Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Sounds like the gunshot from the finale of Spellbound. The explosive view as Leo G.Carroll (and by extension -- the audience) commits suicide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
path40a Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Correct, your turn ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackBurley Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Spellbound wasn't the first time an audience was "shot" with a colorful blast. Can you name the film in which a gunman looks directly in the camera and shoots his audience with an explosion of color? This shot shot was unrelated to the narrative and it was up to the distibutor to play it at the beginning or the end of the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWriteLA Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Not a Hitchcock film, but the silent "The Great Train Robbery." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackBurley Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 I just came back to this thread and saw the heading "Hitchcock Trivia" -- I'd forgotten the theme! This neophyte will catch up eventually, and yes The Great Train Robbery. You're on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWriteLA Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 What's the only Hitchcock full-sound film to have NO music score, even under the credits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traceyk65 Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 "The Birds" and it's really creepy--we're so used to hearing musical cues in movies that when there aren't any...well you miss it. Or I do anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWriteLA Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 You got it, Tracey... and the REALLY weird part of it is that Bernard Herrmann got a "sound consultant" credit... two movies before Hitchcock would fire him off of "Torn Curtain", and they'd never work together again.
