The Wonderful World Of Hitch Trivia Quiz

Answer: The Lodger

This movie deals with a mysterious stranger who takes a room with a family during a crime wave where women are being murdered in London. "The Lodger" contains a famous scene where the tenant is pacing upstairs and the chandelier above the dining room table is gently swaying back and forth from his steps, much to the consternation of the family eating their meal below.

Answer: The Man Who Knew Too Much

"The Man Who Knew Too Much" was originally released in 1934 and was remade in 1956. It deals with an assassination plot and the actions that the conspirators take to keep it a secret.

Answer: Jimmy Stewart

The four were "Rear Window", "Vertigo", "Rope" and "The Man Who Knew Too Much". "Rear Window" deals with a paranoid photographer who thinks that his neighbor has killed his wife. "Vertigo" is about a police officer who develops a fear of heights after an accident on duty. The other two are synopsized elsewhere in this quiz.

Answer: To Catch A Thief

The movie was filmed in Monaco. Grace Kelly would eventually marry and become Princess Grace of Monaco. This film deals with a retired cat burglar, played quite well by Cary Grant, at the height of his career.

Answer: Spellbound

The aforementioned paintings were repressed memories of the main character played by Gregory Peck. "Spellbound" is about an amnesiac who impersonates a psychiatrist and may be involved in a murder.

Answer: Strangers On A Train

The plotline of "Strangers On A Train" has two people joking about performing murders for the other person. The only problem is one of them took the idea and ran with it.

Answer: Rope

"Rope" is loosely based on the Leopold and Loeb murders. Two students kill a classmate and have a dinner party in his honor while the body is in the room with all of the guests. All reel transitions in the movie are accomplished by using devices such as the camera focusing on a trunk lid for several seconds.

Answer: Sean Connery

This is yet another movie dealing with repressed memories. Are you sensing a pattern to Hitch's movies yet? Tippie Hedren plays a kleptomaniac with secrets galore in this Hitchcock romance(?).

Answer: Frenzy

This film was Hitchcock's penultimate film and was released in 1972. As is par for Hitchcock films, the wrong man is suspected and sets about to prove his innocence to the world.

Answer: North By Northwest

"North By Northwest" contains some of the wittiest dialogue such as Eva Marie Saint saying "I am a big girl." and Cary Grant replying "Yeah, and in all the right places, too." Cary Grant is thrust into a world of mistaken identity, murder, mayhem and, of course, the popular scene where he is attacked from a crop duster airplane.

This line is part of an exchange between Grant's character and the villain, played by Mason, a spy who believes that Grant is an agent out to expose him.
