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!

(Kazanjian) Hitchcock
was not planning that Family Plot
1:03:03
was going to be his last picture.
1:03:05
But the last scene
of the picture on the staircase,
1:03:09
where Barbara Harris turns
to the audience and winks,
1:03:12
is something very unusual for Hitchcock,
1:03:14
because it pulls us out of the movie
1:03:17
and has the actors focus on you,
the audience out there in the dark.
1:03:23
I thought it was fantastic. It was just
so great. And Barbara did it great.
1:03:26
She was cute in the movie.
She was a very talented girl.
1:03:29
I leaned to Hitch after that.
I said, "You know what, Hitch?"
1:03:34
"You should go to the top of the stairs,
Barbara should look at the diamond,
1:03:38
you should pan over on the stairway,
1:03:41
and you should start down
the stairway."
1:03:43
"Not Barbara. You."
1:03:45
"And you should wink in the lights."
1:03:49
He thought about it for a long time,
maybe 15 minutes,
1:03:52
and then he said, "No."
1:03:55
Had the world known that was going
to be his last piece of film,
1:03:59
it would've been so fantastic.
