MrWriteLA Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 That is correct. It's a chilling episode, directed by Hitchcock himself. I don't believe the endirg was changed--it would just have been hard to joke about a kid going around pointing a loaded gun at people. I'm paraphrasing the text of the epilogue here (I haven't seen it for years), but roughly it's: "Some stories do not lend themselves to levity. Keep all firearms and ammunition out of the reach of children. Good night." Your go, Robert. Link to post Share on other sites
RobertEmmettHarron Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 The question is: Which of these Hitchcock heroines does not belong on this list, and why? Marnie Edgar (in "Marnie") Lina McLaidlaw (in "Suspicion") The second Mrs. DeWinter (in "Rebecca") Jill Hillcrest ("The Skin Game") Alicia Huberman ("Notorious") Fair warning. Due to the nature of the question, I'll only declare it correctly answered when you name the correct character and why she doesn't belong. The right name with the wrong reason won't count, and I won't signify if the character is right if the reason isn't. (Although if this takes too long I'll throw out helpful hints.) Happy days, gents!

MrWriteLA Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I'm not sure about this, since I've never seen "Skin Game," but... Would it be Lina, because she's the only one who's NOT led (or carried) out of a house by the hero at the end of the movie? Link to post Share on other sites
RobertEmmettHarron Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 That's not what I'm looking for, I'm afraid. Nice try, though. Link to post Share on other sites
RobertEmmettHarron Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 No more takers, I see? OK -- Let me narrow the field of inquiry a bit. The answer has to do with a talent or ability that four of the characters share. The fifth does not. Helpful, I hope? Link to post Share on other sites
duffylab Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 A wild guess: Alicia Huberman is the only character on the list who is not a skilled equestrienne.(?) Link to post Share on other sites
RobertEmmettHarron Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Mercy, mercy, me... That's pretty darn close to the right answer, 'cept for one small detail. Anybody know what it is? (And no, he didn't misspell 'equestrienne.') Link to post Share on other sites

BallofFire Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Does Alicia Huberman not sketch while the others do? Link to post Share on other sites
JackBurley Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Will we never hear the true answer to this? This is more suspenseful than any of Hitch's movies... Link to post Share on other sites

LuckyDan Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 I'll guess the second Mrs. DeWinter, who, aside from being unable to make her first name known, could not (or at least did not, that I recall) drive a car. Link to post Share on other sites

MrWriteLA Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Since Robert seems to have vanished, I suggest someone else take the initiative and ask a new Hitchcock question. Maybe he'll eventually return and tell us what the answer was. Link to post Share on other sites
LuckyDan Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I hope you're well Robert. Until your return with the answer, here's a detour question: HItch made fun of his TV show sponsors in his opening and closing segments of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents,", but in Britain, the sponsor jokes didn't go over so well. So instead, for the British version, he poked fun at another group. Who? Link to post Share on other sites

LuckyDan Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 He may have poked fun at them, too, but I'm looking for a more generalized group, one not identified by what they do. Link to post Share on other sites
