MrWriteLA Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I believe that was one of my favorite actresses: Barbara Harris Link to post Share on other sites
vallo13 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Right-On, MrwriteLA It's over to you............ vallo Link to post Share on other sites
MrWriteLA Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 In what Hitchcock movie do the following words appear, and what are they from: "If you can meet with triumph and disaster, And treat those two imposters just the same..." Link to post Share on other sites
traceyk65 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Tallulah Bankhead (without her panties)? In reference to that, didn't he say something like it was "a matter for wardrobe or possibly hairdressing," when someone complained? Link to post Share on other sites
MrWriteLA Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Er... I think you're a question behind, Trace. :-) Link to post Share on other sites
traceyk65 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Yeah, I know, I just thought I'd throw it in. It made me laugh the first time I read it. Link to post Share on other sites

JackBurley Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I've been sitting on this one because I don't have a good Hitchcock question to lob back to the rest of you (and that could be considered a hint to Mr. Write's question). I'll spill, but only if someone else can offer the next question... Link to post Share on other sites
JackBurley Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Okay, no one else leapt in and I thought of another question (in case I'm correct), so here goes: "If you can meet with triumph and disaster, And treat those two imposters just the same..." is from Kipling's poem "If" [which ends]: "...Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And -- which is more -- you'll be a Man, my son!" The quote is seen at the tennis grounds after Guy's match in Strangers on a Train (and hence my allusion to not having a question "to lob back" to the rest of you.). Remember, the movie is all about the "twos" -- pairs. "two imposters" was very evident within the frame, and harkens to Bruno and Guy. Link to post Share on other sites
MrWriteLA Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 You got it, Jack. Go ahead. Link to post Share on other sites
JackBurley Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Now what was the question I was going to pose? Oh yeah, Hitch had a lot of themes that he used repeatedly over the course of his career. Some were narrative, some visual; and some aural. Now I'm thinking of that great, jarring sound editing when we see a woman scream but we actually hear the scream of a train whistle. Remember? It was featured in The Thirty-Nine Steps. But in what earlier movie did he use this same effect? Link to post Share on other sites

JackBurley Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Nope... Should I give additional clues? (I'm used to playing in the "21 Questions" thread!) In this movie, Hitchcock also featured a shipwreck, which foreshadowed Lifeboat... Link to post Share on other sites
path40a Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Not sure I understand, but I know that Hitchcock also used a scream masked by a train whistle in Number Seventeen (though I don't remember a shipwreck in that one;-) Link to post Share on other sites
JackBurley Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Oh brother, you're right! I should have kept my keyboard shut. Number Seventeen is precisely what I had in mind. When a dead body is found, the scream is masked by the train whistle. The shipwreck was in Rich and Strange. I didn't mean to throw you off, and apparently I didn't! Good job, path. And now, I believe the next Hitchock Trivia question is up to you... Link to post Share on other sites
path40a Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Great, thanks! Next question ... Name the two feature films that the director produced & directed for his own failed company. Message was edited by: path40a Link to post Share on other sites
MrWriteLA Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 What did Hitchcock suggest should be his epitaph, and what actually is his epitaph? Link to post Share on other sites
vallo13 Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I think he wante "This is what they do to bad little boys" but opted for " I'm in on a plot" vallo Link to post Share on other sites
MrWriteLA Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 You got it, vallo. Take it away. Link to post Share on other sites
vallo13 Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Ok here goes. At the end of Psycho, how many people had Norman killed or was suspected of killing? vallo Link to post Share on other sites
MrWriteLA Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 I think the number would be five: Marion, Norman's mom, her lover, and the two young women the chief of police has on his books as missing persons. Link to post Share on other sites
vallo13 Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Close but no cigar......But I'll give it to you. your turn.... it is 6= Mother,Boyfriend,2-Missing persons,Marion and Arbogast vallo Link to post Share on other sites
MrWriteLA Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Drat, I forgot about him! Okay, here goes... What do the following directors have in common, in regards to Hitchcock: Anatole Litvak Mervyn Leroy Sidney Lumet Henry Koster Roman Polanski Joseph Mankiewicz Robert Siodmak Terence Young Link to post Share on other sites
MarkMiller Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Cameos in some of their own movies? Only some of them (Polanski). Maybe an actor in common? Sean Connery (Terrence Young, Sidney Lumet). This is tough. Any clues?? Link to post Share on other sites
