How about a film quiz?

[James Ogilvy]

I think we had one some years back. But how about a new one and what form should it take?

How about themes? I'll start one off with a Hitchcock theme.

Q1. What was symbolic about the character of Hitchcock and how did it represent itself in all of his films?

(Is that two questions? Sorry. But if you know the answer you'll understand why.)

[Stella]

Get your facts right, James! NOT ALL OF HIS FILMS - 39 OUT OF A TOTAL OF 52.

[James Ogilvy]

OK, Ms Clever Clogs....so, what's the answer?

[Stella]

He may have been slightly vain because he liked to make a cameo appearance in them.

[Wayne Dwopp]

Who played the husband in Dial M for Murder?

[Stella]

Ray Milland.

Which film star was the part of Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz originally intended for?

[James Ogilvy]

I thought we were doing a Hitchcock theme!!!

Anyway, the answer is Elizabeth Taylor.

[Stella]

James, you were right about the Hitchcock theme...sorry about that.

But you were wrong with your answer. It was not Elizabeth Taylor, but Shirley Temple.

Okay, another Hitchcock question.. Who was the woman actor starring with James Stewart in Rear Window?

[Erica Boulton]

That's an easy one....Grace Kelly.

[Interesting that Shirley Temple might have played Dorothy. Would she have tapped-danced her way along the Yellow Brick Road? What a relief Judy Garland got the part!!]

Another Hitchcock question. Erm, I'll have to come back on this one.

[Erica Boulton]

From which film was this shot taken?
