:50:00
So, what could I say?
I just said, "It wasn't easy, Hitch."
:50:04
You bestowed upon
your dear mother and father
:50:06
all the care, all the attention,
:50:10
patience and comfort that they needed
in the sunset of their lives.
:50:16
And those of us who are
left behind to grieve for you, Joseph...
:50:21
(Bumstead) Hitch always had two or
three things he was adamant about.
:50:25
In Family Plot, he was very adamant
about that high shot in the cemetery.
:50:34
You really followed
what he had in mind on those,
:50:37
and gave him
what he wanted, you know.
:50:41
(Kazanjian) One of the major scenes
of the picture was
:50:43
the cemetery scene which we shot
in Sierra Madre, California.
:50:46
And, of course, all of the tombstones
:50:50
that you read on screen
you have to supply.
:50:54
In those days, and probably today,
:50:56
you're not to reveal somebody's name
because somebody could call up and say,
:51:00
"You've shown my wife's tombstone
with her name on it. I'm upset."
:51:05
Actually, it did happen. Later, somebody
called up and I was brought in.
:51:09
I had to look at the film, and I said,
:51:12
"That may be somebody's name,
but we provided that tombstone."
:51:15
"It's not their tombstone."
:51:17
So, by coincidence,
there was somebody else buried
:51:20
in a California cemetery
with that name.
:51:23
But in providing those cemeteries,
Hitchcock had an idea.
:51:28
And when he had a press junket
arrive at the cemetery,
:51:31
many of the tombstones
had those people's names on it.
:51:35
It looks like Miss Tyler
needs some rest.
:51:43
Will you do as I say?
:51:47
(Black) I didn't know that Mr Hitchcock
drew everything and then shot it.
:51:52
Remember, I was from the '70s,
:51:54
where at that particular point
in the history of film
:51:57
people were throwing up a lot in films,
:51:59
and they were sweating and drooling
and improvising and walking off camera,
