Your learnin' ain't complete until you've mastered Stoned, Sad Day, Who's Driving Your Plane, and Memo From Turner.

According to Wikipedia, they DID start with other crimes, including the stealing of the typewriter used in the murder as well as an unrelated arson.

I recently saw Hitchcock's follow-up, Under Capricorn. It's a period piece set in Australia, and it also has long takes. TCM shows a poor master with awful color and sound, but I saw a clip of a better master online. Although the movie is flawed, the single-shot sequences express Ingrid Bergman's sense of being…

Don't forget "Some Like It Hot"!

And the long list of instruments they played.

I've got some good and/or dumb stories, like the time I busted Santa, the time I knew both attorneys on a child abuse case, and all the improperly documented immigrants who worked for us. Carrying all those wine cases helped me keep the weight off, too. The best times were nice, but I worked every weekend and lived in…

I managed a small winery for a few years. We once found some old bottles up in the non-air-conditioned attic (1.5L mags, actually).
