the french title is Ascenseur pour l'chafaud.

About Miles Davis' music; try the CD-version: not only does it display
all original music as can be heard in the movie (and on the vinyl record), 
i.e. with its atmospheric reverberation; in  addition it has the original 
takes: listen to those takes: it sounds as though the man is looking you right
in the eyes while playing; utterly intimate music.

You forgot the "Homey don't play 'dat" at the end...  Anyway, after he
left Pescadero (Sarah, et al. had already escaped) he ran into that
motorcycle cop, remember? ("Say, that's a nice bike...").  He probably
took the guy's radio and sidearm when he swiped the bike.

Various people have responded with individual theories on this, but it's 
more a combination of all of them.  At the beginning of the film Cary Grant
leaves his office and heads North on Madison avenue, he gets a taxi and heads 
West on Sixtieth Street. From this point on all the movement in the film
is in a northwesterly direction: New York -> Chicago -> Mount Rushmore (via
Northwest airlines!). The only exception to this being the trip to Glen Coe 
which was the Russian UN delegation's residence in the 50s. 

Several critics have suggested the connection to Hamlet's "I am but mad
north-northwest" line, but I've never heard of Hitch actually confirming
this. (Incidentally, Hitch's original title for the film was "The Man in 
Lincoln's Nose" - I'm glad they changed it!!)

>And finally: how many Academy Awards did Hitch's movies collect over the years?
>Did he get one himself?

Hitch never actually won an award in competition, but he was honored with 
the Irving G. Thalberg award in 1968.  More details on awards are in "The 
Hitchcock Information File" which contains various details on Hitchcock's
films - I've sent you a copy via e-mail.

My fave PS movie is "Lolita" -- Sellers as Claire Quilty is the

This is of course the best way of finding out. But didnt you see

And I've seen them in other movies too. Just cant remember which, they are

Any one see "Martian Massacre"? It sounded promising, but it ended up just being
a bunch of astronauts walking around on some rocks and sand. The walking scenes
made up about 70% of the movie.  They kept going "maybe we should check in
this direction" and my friends and I were like "no! no! stay there and end the
damn movie!" I must say, though that for some perverted reason I laughed
my ass off; that isn't to say, however, that this isn't *one*sorry*movie*.

The current CINEFANTASTIQUE has about ten or twelve pages on ALIEN 3,
including a full synopsis of the current version and lots of side info
on the dozen or so earlier storylines that were under consideration.
If you don't want the movie spoiled for you, stay far far away.  (I
get the impression that you're probably better off spending the $4.50 for
the magazine than $7.50 to see the movie, though.  Everything they say
about it makes it sound like it's going to crash and burn in a very,

	I never heard of that.....and I have all episodes on tape. There
IS an alternative version of THE CHIMES OF BIG BEN (the missing, lost 18th
rpisode) but there is no real explanation of The Village or scene of #6
riding the bike. Have you heard of something my fellow fans and I haven't?
How about some details about the episode, natch?

I just saw "Shakes the Clown". The articles I read on it led me to believe that it could well be a classic cult movie(clowns depicted as coke-snorting, alcohic letches who go around beating up mimes), but I was greatly disappointed in the story line. 

Question: I could swear the main mime in the movie (mime Jerry?) was played by Robin Williams but the credits indicated the part was played by someone else; I believe the name listed was Steve Fromage. Does anyone out there know?

On the other hand, Bruce Willis used fuck about 2,345,123.6 times in Die

    Nope.  Michelle Scarabelli is not Linda Hamilton's twin sister.
