    Fun Fact: For Psycho, Alfred Hitchcock was so pleased with the score written by Bernard Herrmann that he doubled the composer's salary

      Did it again with the stunt man in `The Man Who Knew Too Much` (1956) In the Albert Hall sequence the man had to fall from the boxes. He did it perfectly one take. Hitch said, `Double his salary`. On the other hand the director could be cheap, well parsimonious. He coveted that auteur theory and resented any intruders. Thus any of the team who sought personal publicity were sacked ie John Michael Hayes, others.

    I once saw Mel Brooks talk about when Hitch invited him to dinner. He and Mel went to a very fancy restaurant and Hitch ordered them a very expensive dinner. They ate the first two courses in silence and before the entree came, Hitch stared at Mel for a time before saying in his classic deadpan voice "I saw "The Producers"... that the funniest god damn thing I've ever seen."

    I read once that Raymond Burr (of Perry Mason and Rear Window fame) used to keep a cardboard cutout of Hitchcock in the window of his office at Universal Studios, and paid the tour guides to tell people "oh look, there's Alfred Hitchcock in Raymond Burr's rear window".

    I'm in my final year of college right now. As an elective, I took a film studies class that was also all Hitchcock. My professor, Dr. Jack Sullivan, is such a fan that he wrote and published a textbook that we were required to have for class. It's called "Hitchcock’s Music" and I'm sure you can guess from the title what it's about. He even met a few actors who worked with Hitchcock, including the late Farley Granger from "Strangers on a Train".

I vote we swear him in as the Fact Boi replacement.

    Regarding this at 9:13 "there were no unions back then, so anyone could pretty much do anything as long as they know they're asked to do it and have the inclination to do so." So, do you and/or your writer really think that unions are just there to stop talented folks from getting better roles when management wants it? Maybe take a moment to Google "unions" and see what they're actually about, but don't go blaming your professional frustrations on unions for everyone to see!
