Hitchcock's Spellbound **spoilers for both**


I'm a huge Hitchcock fan and had seen Spellbound years before Psycho Beach Party, but only rewatched it for the first time today. It's interesting that Spellbound isn't listed as a movie connection, and vice versa on Spellbound's page, because there are two scenes lifted directly from Hitchcock's movie.

The first is when the police are hunting Ingrid Bergman's character but don't recognise her until they draw glasses on her photo. The second is when Gregory Peck, suspected of and believes himself responsible for murder, remembers a childhood accident where he kills his brother.

It's a great Hitchcock film but I couldn't help pissing myself when I saw both of those. They were ridiculously hilarious in Psycho Beach Party, and even more so in Spellbound. : D
