Is number six a multiple choice answer? | ||

Don't think it's ROPE, 'cos I'm sure Hitchcock's outline appears on the skyline outside the flat's window. | ||

Hitchcock is definitely in Frenzy and Strangers on a Train. I'd guess at Shadow of a Doubt, because I seem to think he's in Rope in some form. Is number 4 Hugo Weaving? Not sure who he played in Home and Away... | ||

I know that 10 is the soul of... the guy's character... the one who's walking across the street in front of Bruce Willis, who he hits with his car... can't remember even the actor's name... nor the combination... nor any other question's answer no one else knows.... | ||

9.5 points Mr probert. Craig - correct, it is the soul of Marcellus wallace - that's why Ving Rhames has a plaster on the back of his neck when we meet him, it's the place it was removed from allegeldy - according to the notes in the script. Karim - correct with the combination. Hitchcock does NOT have his silouhette in the lights in the background of Rope although that was touted. Instead, in the establishing shot of the building during the opening credits, he is seen to walk past the front of the building. So Shadow of a Doubt is the one where he makes no cameo. I'm tempted to give Lord P his half point he missed back for giving the full quote from Bad taste. | ||

Just noticed I didn't give Lord P his bonus point for naming Fr Brennan. 10.5 points Lord P | ||

Thanks! Not bad seeing as I'd just got back from an exhausting weekend at the London's Royal Academy of Art. I also went to the Babylon exhibition at the British Musuem. 'What this really needs,' I mused as I walked past the exhibits of ancient clay pots and the diagrams illustrating the majestic architecture, 'Is a bit on Boney M'. And guess what they had near the exit!! | ||

I thought question 6 was a trick, Marc - that is, Hitchcock appears in all of them. In Shadow of a Doubt he's the bridge player with a full hand of spades on the train. The shot is around 16.30 on the Region 1 disc. | ||

Damn, I'm going to have to check that now. All other films in my set have shown the hitch cameo in the making of documentary attached. When this one didn't have it, I assumed. Replacement question 6, What is the name of Edward Norton's character in Fight Club? | ||

I do recall that Hitch doesn't appear in at least one of his films... Is it The Wrong Man? | ||

He's never named, though he does use an alias at one point. | ||

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Hitchcock_cameo_appearances They list the Rope appearance wrong. | ||
| Weber_gregston (Weber_gregston) Username: Weber_gregston Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 83.98.9.4 |
Unusual thing about Rope - apart from the obvious real time one-take gimmick - is that a character appears in the trailer who is never actually seen in the film. The victim is shown in the trailer but obviously he's only referred to (occasionally in the past tense) in the movie itself. | ||

BTW the missing answers are - 4 - Ada Nicodemou - aka Leah Baker in Home and Away - is the girl with the white rabbit in the Matrix 8 - David draiman - lead singer with popular beat combo Disturbed - is the singing voice for Lestat. If you like heavy metal the soundtrack to QOTD is well worth it and the only good thing about the film. 15 - this is where lord P dropped his half point - the three young actors each played the YOUNG Michael Myers | ||

Oh bloody hell I should have guessed that. Very, very good W_G! | ||

"I do recall that Hitch doesn't appear in at least one of his films... Is it The Wrong Man?" I believe he's not actually in it, but he introduces it onscreen, which I suppose counts as an appearance. | ||

I read or heard years ago that he doesn't appear in Rebecca. They were going to show him coming out of the phone box at the end, when George Sanders goes to use it, but Hitch felt that it was too late in the film, and too tense a moment; the audience would laugh in recognition, and he didn't want that to spoil the scene. | ||

The hand of cards on the train is a nice touch, and such a good hand too! Gary F - I think there are a handful of his films that he doesn't appear in, although he's obviously in the majority. Supposedly in later years as audiences became aware of his appearances, he made them near the start so the audience wouldn't be concentrating on seeing him and missing any of the plot. | ||

The wiki link i posted lists all of his appearances though as I said they get the rope one wrong | ||

My fave Hitch cameo is in Dial M For Murder - I laughed out loud at that. | ||

The 'cameo' in Lifeboat is pretty clever. |
