Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which male starred in the most Hitchcock films?

Answer: Leo G. Carroll

Carroll played a politician in "Strangers on a Train", the head of an asylum in "Spellbound", and a federal agent in "North by Northwest". These are just a few of his movies with Hitchcock.

2. Ingrid Bergman tied with Grace Kelly for being an actress in the most Hitchcock films. Which was NOT a film of hers?

Answer: Shadow of a Doubt

"Shadow of a Doubt" featured Theresa Wright.

3. Which film did NOT take place in Hitchcock's home country of England?

Answer: Marnie

"Marnie" took place in Maryland and Pennsylvania.

Answer: Saboteur

5. Which film featured the Disney cartoon "Who Killed Cock Robin" as an ironic addition to the guilt felt by an audience member?

Answer: Sabotage

Disney was not too happy with this, and years later when Hitch wanted to film a murder scene at Disneyland, Walt declined.

6. Which film more than any other dealt with Freudian psychoanalysis, guilt complexes, and phobias?

Answer: Spellbound

One of my favorites. Very underrated Hitchcock with brillant Salvadore Dali sequences.

7. What is Alfred Hitchcock's most violent movie, and the only Hitchcock film to receive an 18 certificate in the UK?

Answer: Frenzy

"Frenzy" received an "R" rating in America and is the only Hitchcock film to do so.

8. What was the first Hollywood film in history to show a close-up of a working toilet?

Answer: Psycho

You may laugh, but you have no idea how important this was in cinema history. It took movies away from the glossy idealism of the MGM musicals and brought it into the hardcore, in-your-face, modern realism we see in movies today. "Psycho" can be considered the first "modern", as opposed to "classic", film.

Answer: Mr. and Mrs. Smith

This was one of Carol Lombard's last films before her death.

10. Which film did NOT feature Hitchcock's daughter Pat?

Answer: The Paradine Case

She usually played the smart daughter or the frumpy friend, and favoritism aside, she was quite good.
