Good deal. Still a fairly weak nail to hang the whole plot from, but the movie holds up just the same. Ah! Good deal.

He gets mixed up with "Roger Kaplan" when in the gentelman's club. There is a waiter asking if there is a Mr. Kapaln in the room because there is a call waiting for him. The call was placed by 2 hitmen that are waiting for Kaplan to reveal himself. While the waiter is asking around, Thorndike (Carey Grant) gets the waiters attention for another reason, but the hitmen think he's about to take the call - and therefore believes Thorndike is Kaplan. <br /> <br /> I think the McGuffin is this movie is what is on the microfilm or why that is so important.

Some of those "non-important" things in his movies are hysterical when you look back on them. The uranium-238 in Notorious is a great one. Probablly.

But I still think the source of Van Damme's confusion is never revealed. This is, I suppose, in keeping with Hitchcock's theories about the MacGuffin and its true lack of importance.

I saw this on for the first time a few months ago. Great flick. I think he gets them mixed up very early in the movie. Darn, if I wasn't so hung over I'd be more help to ya. <br /> <br /> That movie comes on fewquently on AMC and Oxygen (believe it or not) so lookout for it. If you have TiVo, search by Alfred Hitchcock as a Wish list and maybe it'll come up. Hhhmmmmm…….. I saw this on for the first time a few months ago. Great flick.
