I just spent a half hour searching every plot of all episodes to find the one with this plot to find the lead was Joan Fontaine (why I didn't just google Gary Merrill was pretty dumb but hey) I then read various critiques and loved yours. I knew this episode was unlike others w that perfect obnoxious performance by Joan Fontaine-- thanks for validating my obsession!!Sally Schwartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10020858548328073289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276573383762577239.post-21396160824901126372017-04-11T02:11:46.114-07:002017-04-11T02:11:46.114-07:00This is actually one of my favorite episodes.

It's satisfying to know that these sorts of things are doing some good.<br /><br />Yes, the first reaction to editorial notes is always to be defensive. I struggled with that for a LONG time. Luckily, Ivy is patient and amazing, and once I finally got over myself, my writing improved dramatically, taking a step from high schoolish preening to actually telling a story. I owe it all to her. I'm glad you have someone who can do that for you, as well.<br /><br />Thanks for the interest in my This Is Horror novella, titled "They Don't Come Home Anymore." I'm finishing it up in the next week, and then off to the TIH brass. I'll be sure to post up something here when pre-orders begin.T.E.

Hearing you speak so frankly about cutting out the fluff and writing clean, about how you can build a story from the ending backwards, from a cool piece of dialogue or a great paragraph ... man, I feel like you've tapped right into all of those thoughts that jumped into my brain that I had to smack down because of years of traditional A to Z writer advice. Also, I loved hearing about how you've got Ivy as your editor. I'm married to a woman who's got an editor brain, too, and I feel like she's my secret weapon. Even if sometimes she hands me back a stack of pages covered in red ink and says, "You need an actual story in your story." It's brutal, and I want to argue, but I know deep down she's right.<br /><br />It's just really, really nice to hear about someone I can relate to so much. Thanks for sharing!<br /><br />I'm looking forward to your project with This is Horror later this year! I'll pre-order that on as soon as I can.Jake Marleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276573383762577239.post-84303643901963678602015-10-21T09:49:20.552-07:002015-10-21T09:49:20.552-07:00Thanks for the interest.

As someone on IMDb noted, the charming incompetents from the police force remind one of the title character from that great series, though, of course, Columbo only seemed to bungle.<br /><br />Despite his overacting, Barry's take in the final scene at the police station, when busybody neighbor Mrs. Weatherby volunteers a wee bit too much about "Uncle George", is priceless: From a look of smug triumph after she identified his wife's lover, his expression goes to stunned shock and he slowly sits down, after she unwittingly implicated him. Great fun moment of Hitchcockian humor.<br /><br />The character of Mrs. Weatherby brings up another popular Hitchcock trope, that of voyeurism, which is a central aspect of the "Rear Window" plot, and also is found in other of his films.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276573383762577239.post-67259524577383255312014-10-16T14:55:14.213-07:002014-10-16T14:55:14.213-07:00I love your enthusiasm, Chu!
