Quotes

Michael Roberts: I hate Alfred Hitchcock. Come on, Mary, look. Let's say for argument's sake that I agree to the idea of remaking 'North By Northwest' and I believed you when you said I'd be better than Cary Grant...
Mary Conn: You would.
Michael Roberts: I've still never heard of these producers. Hart and Jankowski?
Mary Conn: Michael, I can put your mind at rest with one word.
Michael Roberts: What's that?
Mary Conn: Canadians.
Michael Roberts: Canadians?
Mary Conn: The most wonderful people on the face of the earth.

Crazy Credits

Keep watching after the credits as Executive Producer Michael Sloan has a bit of final fun. His acting role may be uncredited, but when his character says "Don't you know who I am?" his Executive Producer credit flashes on the screen. After all the credits are shown Sloan stands in front of the famous Hitchcock profile and says "Don't you recognise this profile?"
