Directors Hitchcock screenshot contest (1 Viewer)

[Marc Fedderman]

I've never gotten around to Foreign Correspondent either, so I made the same mistake as Adam. I'll definitely bump it up on my to see list.

 

[Brook K]

I haven't seen Dial M, Foreign Correspondent, or Lifeboat.

I'm sure I won't do well, while I've seen a lot of his early films that perhaps only Jim and George have seen, there are a bunch of his 40's and 50's films I haven't seen. So far half the shots I think I know and half have been guesses.

I'll reveal shot #7 tomorrow. I am missing a guess for that from Bill.

 

[george kaplan]

Shot #13:

 

[Haggai]

Stage Fright, wow, that really was a tough one. I thought it would be from that scene in Saboteur where they get to some remote location, and suddenly a phone starts ringing.

 

[george kaplan]

It's the first one to stump everyone so far. I thought at least one person would guess Dial M for Murder, but no one did.

 

[Haggai]

Well, I would that hope anyone who was considering guessing Dial M remembered that it was in color...

 

[george kaplan]

Yeah, but Vertigo is in color, and it has a black & white part. And, I've even gotten one vote for a movie that Hitchcock didn't even direct , though that vote was overridden, and I don't even remember who submitted it now.

Shot #14:

 

[george kaplan]

I have enough shots for this contest to go on quite a while. However, I've decided to end this at 20 shots. At that point, if there's still interest, I'll have a Hitchcock screenshot contest part 2 (with 20 more shots). And so on. That way, not only will people hopefully not drop out from attrition, but we have a fresh opportunity for someone else to win, or new people to join in.

 

[Adam_S]

I don't plan on dropping out, I just have no instant guess on the last couple, and its bugging me. :O)
