"Come in.
If you need anything, we're open."

:09:05
Oh, I can't explain it,
:09:07
but you came here,
and mother's so happy.

:09:11
(Wright) This was the first film
that I went on location on.

:09:14
It was not done a lot then,
:09:17
and it made a tremendous difference.
:09:19
There's no doubt that coming in real
doorways and opening real windows

:09:25
is better than being on a set.
:09:28
(O'Connell) In this case, he enjoyed
the location, which he never did,

:09:32
partly because of the cast he had.
:09:35
He got along so well with everybody.
:09:38
So the location work on this
was really a very happy time.

:09:42
It was a family picture, about a family,
:09:45
and we were with the Hitchcocks,
who were a family.

:09:49
Alma was right there all the time
:09:52
and Hitchcock would constantly defer
to her about certain scenes, the script.

:09:58
And it was so wondertul
to have Patty, who was very bright,

:10:02
playing cards, gin rummy.
:10:05
(O'Connell) I remember they had
a gin rummy tournament on the picture

:10:09
and they wanted my father to play.
:10:12
He says, "I've never played gin rummy,"
so they taught himhow to play

:10:15
and he won
the whole tournament. (Laughs)

:10:20
(Wright) There was a very funny time
:10:22
when we were all
brought into San Francisco

:10:25
where there was going to be
a Chinese gourmet dinner.

:10:28
The most famous dish
that was passed around to look at

:10:33
was a hundred-year-old egg.
:10:35
Joe was sitting beside me,
:10:37
and he's capable of
saying the most terrible things

:10:40
while smiling and looking charming.
:10:42
And I was just
doubled up the whole time

:10:46
between listening to this lady who was
giving a lecture about the egg

:10:50
and at the same time listening to Joe
making his snide comments about it.

:10:54
It was a very funny scene.
:10:56
I'm surprised
that Hitch never used it in a film.
