:28:00
- Where?
- (Howling)
:28:02
Apparently, they're on the trail
of some spook named Eddie Shoebridge.
:28:04
Through psychic means, of course.
:28:07
Any reason anyone would be sniffing
around in your life after all the years?
:28:13
Can't think of any reason at all. Why?
:28:14
- (Tyres Screeching)
- He's after us!
:28:17
(Woman) What were you
planning to do about him, dear?
:28:20
(Man) We'll have to eliminate
these two ourselves.
:28:23
- Oh, I can't.
- You must!
:28:25
Mr Adamson?
:28:27
May I be of some help to you, madam?
:28:42
(Woman) After the success of Frenzy,
:28:44
my father decided to do
an adaptation of The Rainbird Pattern,
:28:49
a book by British novelist
Victor Canning.
:28:53
The story of the book was
very different from the film.
:28:56
It was set in the English countryside,
not on the West Coast.
:29:01
And Madame Blanche
had real psychic powers.
:29:04
But most importantly, the overall tone
of the book was very dark.
:29:12
The film was carefully
designed and prepared,
:29:15
and Ernest Lehman, who worked on
North by Northwest, was brought in.
:29:21
Everything was important
in a Hitchcock picture.
:29:24
He paid attention to all the details.
:29:27
That's why he liked to work
with the same people on his films.
:29:31
I think we're gonna have to jump cut...
:29:35
to him up there.
:29:39
(Man) I was the assistant director
to Alfred Hitchcock on Family Plot.
:29:43
Hitchcock, in the past,
had only worked with one or two
:29:46
assistant directors
that he was very familiar with.
:29:49
Hilton Green, who was head
of production at Universal,
:29:52
knew my talent and asked
if I would like to work with Hitchcock.
:29:58
Of course, the answer was yes,
and I was basically assigned to the picture
