Hitchcock wasn't above using something patently ridiculous to ratchet up the suspense, or move the plot forward. My favorite example is the runaway merry-go-round at the end of "Strangers on a Train" The motors on those things are barely strong enough to turn them at their normal speed, much less the killer speed in the flick. But it makes for an exciting ending, nevertheless. Another example: just how <I>did</I> Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint get off Mt. Rushmore, anyway?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
