Hosted by Bryan Forbes but mainly consisting of audience questions, a noticeably long-haired audience.
Like, why was the art direction on Marnie so bad? Yes, it was terrible.
Was Torn Curtain miscast? Yes, we should have had a singing scientist.
What are your best achievements? Shadow of a Doubt (partly because it was shot on location) and Rear Window) 'my most cinematic picture'.
You seem to have a good sense of humour. Why don't you make comedies? All my films are comedies.
Have you thought of working in different genres? The only problem if I made a musical would be that the audience would be thinking which of the chorus girls is going to be murdered and how.
Someone complained that the murder scene in Torn Curtain was gratuitously violent and tasteless. Hitch replied that it showed how difficult and unpleasant murder was, and added the oven ending was Auschwitz, a comment that the audience didn't know how to deal with at all.
