"For me it's always Strangers on a Train that I thought of when I saw her. She's charming in Stage Fright but Strangers was the best role she had... It is too bad she didn't act more since she had a sure comic touch. But she can't be faulted for choosing to concentrate on raising her family, especially since she was always so willing to share her memories of her parents at any time.."--- That's reader Joel memorializing an MNPP Forever Fave with the death of Patricia Hitchcock, daughter to Alfred & Alma and an always welcome screen-presence that we totally adored. Chubby Bannister Forever!

When A Stranger Calls (1979) I just discovered there was a sequel and it’s on Amazon Prime. When I’m desperate I’ll give it a watch.
Yup good work, Simon. :)
A movie with one of the greatest opens and closes and flattest middles ever! A real example of "If you have a great finish they'll forgive anything!"
You are so correct. I tell people to watch the combined edited YouTube version where it’s just the beginning and the ending of the film. It totally works and becomes the perfect short film.
I have seen this movie several times and I literally never remember ANYTHING from the second half of the film. I just went through it right now to grab these frames and I still couldn't tell you what happens after "The call's coming from inside the house!" lol
Speaking of movies with great openings: Absolute Beginners has a marvelous opening and then the plot begins and the picture dies. Same with Grease 2. Patricia Birch choreographed a sensational opening number, but the plot is so dreadful! Any others?
