And Mr Hitchcock
never gave me the answer,

1:01:04
and he really didn't know.
1:01:06
And we talked about many places,
and I suggested many places,

1:01:09
and he always vetoed them.
1:01:11
(Dern) He says, "I'm thinking
of not making an appearance."

1:01:15
I said, "A w, God. I think
you got to make an appearance."

1:01:18
He said, W ell, how about
that I do but I don't?"

1:01:24
And he said, "How about I don't appear,
but my image appears?"

1:01:30
"So, how would you do that?"
He said, W atch this."

1:01:35
No, there is no death certificate here
for Edward Shoebridge.

1:01:38
Only Harry J Shoebridge
and Sadie L Shoebridge.

1:01:42
(Kazanjian) It wasn't till we were
long in the picture

1:01:45
that he came up with the idea of using
his silhouette behind the office door.

1:01:49
And he said,
"I'll be talking to a woman there."

1:01:53
And I put Ellen Sway in there.
1:01:55
It was my role to pick that person,
so I put Ellen Sway,

1:01:59
who was a dear old extra.
1:02:01
It's unfortunate that
we really never saw him.

1:02:04
It was just his shadow, his profile,
which was so famous anyway.

1:02:08
I walk in, I see this shadow on
the glass talking to another shadow.

1:02:11
Well, it's him! And you don't see him.
1:02:14
You just see his profile
and the shadow.

1:02:17
Come on. Is that not hip, you know,
genius? I mean, that's just terrific.

1:02:22
I said, "Congratulations."
He said, "Did you see me, Bruce?"

1:02:24
I said, "No. But I saw your image."
1:02:27
He said, W ell, I told you
I wasn't going to appear."

1:02:29
So, he just got such a kick out of that.
1:02:56
Blanche, you did it! You are psychic!
