Question: What 1959 American thriller directed by Alfred Hitchcock was used as the model for "The Bugs Bunny Mystery Special"?
Context: The following is a list of the 93 episodes of the television program The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, which is a continuation of the program "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" (1955–60).  "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour", like its predecessor, is an anthology series in the thriller genre.  NBC renamed the program when they extended its running-time from about 25 minutes to about 50 minutes.  Both programs were hosted by Alfred Hitchcock, whose directorial work in thriller films is extremely influential.  Hitchcock directed only one episode of "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour": "I Saw The Whole Thing" (Season 1, episode 4). North by Northwest is a 1959 American thriller directed by Alfred Hitchcock and starring Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint and James Mason.  The screenplay was by Ernest Lehman, who wanted to write "the Hitchcock picture to end all Hitchcock pictures". The Bugs Bunny Mystery Special is an animated television special that was broadcast on CBS October 26, 1980.  Presented as an Alfred Hitchcock-style whodunit, the plot is modeled after those of "North by Northwest" and "The Fugitive".  Like most Looney Tunes specials of the time, this program consists of clips from classic cartoons with some new original animation holding them together. Bugs Bunny on Broadway (also titled Bugs Bunny at the Symphony and Bugs Bunny at the Symphony II) is a concert musical featuring "Looney Tunes" characters such as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Elmer Fudd.  The production was conceived by George Daugherty, incorporating scores by Carl Stalling and Milt Franklyn. Baton Bunny is a Bugs Bunny cartoon of the "Looney Tunes" series, produced in 1958 and released in January 1959.  It shows Bugs conducting an orchestra - with a fly bothering him.  Bugs conducts, and in part, plays the overture to "Ein Morgen, ein Mittag und Abend in Wien" (A Morning, Noon, and Night in Vienna)", a composition by Franz von Suppé.  Though Mel Blanc was credited for vocal characterizations, there is no dialogue in the short; the only vocal effect made was when an audience member is heard coughing.  This is the third and last Bugs Bunny cartoon (the first two being "A Corny Concerto" and "Rhapsody Rabbit", although he says three lines in the latter) where Bugs is silent.  Or, nearly silent; at one point, he 'shushes' the brass. Bugs Bunny's Thanksgiving Diet is an animated television special released on November 15, 1979; it stars Bugs Bunny and incorporated parts of several "Looney Tunes" cartoons.  The special followed up on the successful "Looney Tunes" special "Bugs and Daffy's Carnival of the Animals" that had aired in 1976, which reintroduced the character of Bugs Bunny in his first new material since 1964.  The female rabbit from this special was rumored to be Honey Bunny, but is in fact a variation of Witch Hazel's rabbit form. Bugs Bunny's Easter Special (also known as "The Bugs Bunny Easter Special" and "Bugs Bunny's Easter Funnies") is a "Looney Tunes" television special featuring a number of Warner Bros. cartoons.  It originally debuted on the CBS network on April 7, 1977. Box-Office Bunny, released in 1991, is a 4-minute "Looney Tunes" short starring Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and Elmer Fudd.  It was shown in theaters as well as the VHS and LaserDisc release with "".  This was Warner Bros.'s first Bugs Bunny theatrical release since 1964.  It was issued to commemorate Bugs' 50th anniversary.  It is included as a special feature on the DVD for "The Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie". Bugs and Daffy's Carnival of the Animals (originally aired as Carnival of the Animals) is a combination animation/live action television special, starring Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, and directed by Chuck Jones.  Premiering on CBS on November 22, 1976, and consisting entirely of new animation, this prime time TV special represented Bugs Bunny and company's first foray into prime time television since the early 1960s.  "Carnival of the Animals" was purposely cast in the successful mold of Jones' own earlier musical cartoons – "Rabbit of Seville", "Long-Haired Hare" and "Baton Bunny" – and set the familiar showbiz rivalry between Bugs and Daffy against the orchestral backdrop of musician Michael Tilson Thomas, in a performance based on the music of Camille Saint-Saëns and the poetry of Ogden Nash. Yosemite Sam is an American animated cartoon character in the "Looney Tunes" and "Merrie Melodies" series of cartoons produced by Warner Bros.  Animation.  The name is somewhat alliterative and is inspired by Yosemite National Park.  Along with Elmer Fudd, he is the de facto archenemy of Bugs Bunny.  He is commonly depicted as an extremely aggressive gunslinging prospector, outlaw, pirate, or cowboy with a hair-trigger temper and an intense hatred of rabbits, Bugs particularly.  In cartoons with non-Western themes, he uses various aliases, including "Chilkoot Sam" (named for the Chilkoot Trail; Sam pronounces it "Chilli-koot") in "14 Carrot Rabbit" (although in the same cartoon, when he tries to gain Bugs Bunny's trust, he cleverly invents the alias "Square-deal Sam"), "Riff Raff Sam" in "Sahara Hare", "Sam Schultz" in "Big House Bunny", "Seagoin' Sam" in "Buccaneer Bunny", "Shanghai Sam" in "Mutiny on the Bunny", and "Sam Von Schamm the Hessian" in "Bunker Hill Bunny" and many others.  During the Golden Age of American animation, Yosemite Sam appeared in 33 shorts.
