Grex Jeopardy -- Spring of 2001 Edition
| 
Mar 22 13:34 UTC 2001 |
Welcome to Grex Jeopardy, where the answers are easy, but the questions
are tough.
In this game, one person gives out an "answer" and your job is to give
the correct response _in the form of a question_. The first correct
questioner has the option of either giving the next answer or passing
that task on to others.
Ready? Let's play!

mcnally gave the last correct response in Winter Agora, so he has the
choice of giving the first clue or to pass to someone else.

I'm hoping this one will be answered by a film buff rather than just
the first person to spend ten minutes in IMDB, but hey, at least it's
a question (or an answer, or whatever..)
This person was credited as a screenwriter on nearly as many of
Alfred Hitchcock's early films as Hitchcock himself.

Hm. John Michael Hayes did the screenplays for a few Hitchcock
films in the 1950's, but that wouldn't exactly be early in
Hitchcock's career. But in the absence of any better idea, I'll
guess:
Who is John Michael Hayes?

Not the person I'm thinking of, at any rate.. IMDB lists a number of
other writing credits for our mystery writer but none of them are for
movies I've ever heard of. This person had a long partnership with
Hitchcock.

Time to wake up the item!!!
This is one of the lines in "Jesus Christ Superstar" that
is a pun or play on words.
(can you tell I've been listening to JCS recently, again?)

I guess I'll post another question.. The co-writer I was looking for
was Alma Reville, also known as Mrs. Hitchcock.

re JCS: "we'll pay you in silver, cash on the nail"? I know the lyrics
pretty well, and that's all I can come up with.

Yes, that line by Caiaphas, is one that I was thinking of.
Others include: Judas: "Christ, you deserve it" (Word in anger
usage is common today, not the direct address to Christ). Also,
since it was made into a movie "You'll escape in the final reel".
(from the crowd on the way to or from Pilate). Also from Judas:
"Tables, chairs and oaken chests *wood* have suited Jesus best".
Jesus gets in one also "You liar--you Judas"; again the direct
address to the person, Judas, that the name now implies a
reference to one who betrays another.
Your word play or punage may vary.
But I guess we are waiting on McNally to come back with
his answer/clue.

OK, we'll stick with Hitchcock.. Hitchcock and Alma Reville had a
daughter, Patricia Hitchcock. Patricia had minor roles in "Stage
Fright" and "Psycho", but had a decent-sized supporting role in
this film.

what phase is this from (or what movie)
" Now which god would that be, the one would created you or the one who
created me see in your world the Lord givith and the Lord takith but in my
world, the one whould created me, doesn't have any balls..."

Neither #12 or #13 are correct.. ( so basically, we're looking for
another Hitchcock-directed film in which Patricia Hitchcock had a
supporting role, besides "Stage Fright" & "Psycho")

When I think of her I think of thick lense glasses.

Right. The glasses were an important prop in "Strangers on
a Train".

Okay, I'll try to think up a new poser later today. Don't
hesitate to remind me if I appear to be forgetting. (If I
appear to be, then I probably am.)

Hm... I'm busy and will be away from Grex for a few days, so
if somebody else wants to post a Jeopardy poser, have at it.
