DavidEnglish Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 > What connection does Disneyland's "Great Moments > with Mr. Lincoln" attraction have to a Hitchcock film? Is the connection Royal Dano? He plays the part of Deputy Sheriff Calvin Wiggs in The Trouble with Harry (1955). He also provided Lincoln's voice for the Disneyland attraction.

DavidEnglish Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 What film did The New Yorker refer to as "unconsciously funny," but Hitchcock insisted was meant to be "tongue in cheek?" DavidE http://www.classicfilmpreview.com Link to post Share on other sites
RobertEmmettHarron Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Boy, I know I've come across that somewhere. Is the answer "Psycho?" Link to post Share on other sites

DavidEnglish Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 > I'm pretty sure it was "Torn Curtain". As Groucho would say, "That can't be right." I hadn't heard that comment about Newman in Torn Curtain. That's a good one. Link to post Share on other sites
RobertEmmettHarron Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 As Harpo would say, " " Ah, nuts, that won't work, will it? This is Robert, again. And I'll take another shot at this. Is the answer "Saboteur?" What would Zeppo, I wonder, reply to that? Link to post Share on other sites

Is the answer "Saboteur?" > > What would Zeppo, I wonder, reply to that? You beat me to it. When someone got the right answer, I was going to write, "As Zeppo would say, 'I'm out of here.'" Unfortunately, I have to do the Harpo one first, which is "[honk]." He is also moving his head from side to side indicating you don't have the right answer. The endings for Saboteur and the mystery film do have a certain similarity. Link to post Share on other sites
MrWriteLA Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 "North by Northwest"? Link to post Share on other sites
DavidEnglish Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 > "North by Northwest"? Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. You are MrRight tonight (or this afternoon if you're in LA). The similarity I referred to was each film?s climactic scene at a national monument. Hitchcock mentioned the quote from The New Yorker in an book-length interview conducted by Fran?oise Truffaut. The writer for The New Yorker sure got it wrong -- it most definitely feels like a comedy to me. Back to you, MrWriteLA. DavidE http://www.classicfilmpreview.com Link to post Share on other sites
MrWriteLA Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 In Spain, the Hitchcock film "Rebecca" was so popular that certain items that appear in the film came to be known--and still are known--as "rebecas." What are they? Link to post Share on other sites
RobertEmmettHarron Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Hmmm... Much as I would like the answer to be "deliberately scuttled pleasure yachts," that's probably not correct. So, I think I'll guess "monogrammed initials." Link to post Share on other sites
MrWriteLA Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Yes! It is "deliberately scuttled pleasure ya--"! Naaah, just kidding. And unfortunately for you, it's not monogrammed initials either. Link to post Share on other sites

DavidEnglish Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Would it be some form of a brooch, which Websters defines as an ornament held by a pin or clasp that is worn at or near the neck (like the one Mrs. Danvers wears at the top of her dress)?

RobertEmmettHarron Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Well then, from Cary Grant to ... Edith Evanson?? Why not? Hitchcock gave character Edith Evanson perhaps her best-remembered role when he cast her as the maid, Mrs. Wilson, in "Rope." But what other Hitchcock film did Evanson also appear in, and what was her role? Link to post Share on other sites
