Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. L.B. Jeffries in 'Rear Window'?

Answer: James Stewart

An easy one to start. James Stewart in the second of four roles he played for Hitchcock, and my personal favourite.

2. Mitch Brenner in 'The Birds'?

Answer: Rod Taylor

Martin Landau and John Gavin were in the two Hitchcock movies prior to 'The Birds', 'North by Northwest' and 'Psycho' respectively.

3. Richard Hannay in 'The 39 Steps'?

Answer: Robert Donat

Peter Lorre, John Gielgud and Robert Young all featured in Hitchcock's next film after 'The 39 Steps', 'Secret Agent' in 1936.

4. George Lumley in 'Family Plot'?

Answer: Bruce Dern

His second role in a Hitchcock film, following a brief appearance as the sailor in the flashback in 'Marnie'.

5. Johnny Aysgarth in 'Suspicion'?

Cary Grant is tied with James Stewart on the number of lead roles in Hitchcock movies - four apiece. This was his first.

6. Mark Rutland in 'Marnie'?

Answer: Sean Connery

After rehearsing with Sean Connery, his co-star Tippi Hedren couldn't believe her character wouldn't be attracted to him. Hitchcock told her it was 'called acting'!

7. Gilbert in 'The Lady Vanishes'?

Answer: Michael Redgrave

One of Hitchcock's last and best British films before going to America to make 'Rebecca', starring Laurence Olivier.

8. Father Michael Logan in 'I Confess'?

Answer: Montgomery Clift

Apparently Montgomery Clift did not impress Hitchcock as a leading man, as he disliked his method style and deep involvement with his character.

9. Michael Armstrong in 'Torn Curtain'?

Answer: Paul Newman

Paul Newman was chosen for this film, along with Julie Andrews, because of their popularity at the time, against Hitchcock's wishes.

10. Dr. Murchison in 'Spellbound'?

Leo G. Carroll appeared in the most Hitchcock movies, with 6 to his name: 'Rebecca', 'Suspicion', 'Spellbound', 'The Paradine Case', 'Strangers on a Train' and 'North by Northwest'.
