#MacGuffinfan# Issue 16 "You Begin to Have Good Luck"

Recommended star: two stars

Key words: posing; details; saving

The plot of this episode is actually not very chewy, but some things are worth talking about. For example, in order to express the aerial search at the beginning, it can be seen from now that it is a toy plane, and the flight cabin is posed for shooting. There are many in the play, but very little in the recent ones.

Now more and more money is needed to make a movie, special effects, angles, background walls, all like to throw a lot of money, but in reality, it is often unnecessary. To express something, details may be very important, but luxury is definitely not .

Often times, it's still the story that matters. Like this kind of background introduction, others only need to know what it means, and the rest is not important. Hitch pays great attention to details, and it is quite economical to save, especially for TV dramas.

Then the second thing that I think can be talked about is the hero and heroine of this episode, which is mainly in line with the aesthetics of contemporary film and television. The drama of housewives and dangerous fugitives is still quite strong, but this decryption is still a bit far-fetched! Or it would be better if the translation succeeded and fell short.

Alfred Hitchcock Presents quotes

  • Alfred Hitchcock - Host: [introducing commercials at the end of the show] I hope you have enjoyed our program. Seeing a murder on television can help to work off one's antagonisms. And if you haven't any antagonisms, these commercials will give you some.

  • Alfred Hitchcock - Host: [signing off] I hope you'll join us again next week, when we will present you with another story of gripping, spine-tingling suspense, and three boring commercials to take the edge off of it.
