3 things about Alfred Hitchcock's SABOTEUR

3 things about Preston Sturges' THE MIRACLE OF MORGAN'S CREEK
The Miracle of Morgan’s Creek [1943] 1. Walking through the screen door. 2. Zipperpuss. 3. She replies at lightning speed, while stuttering: “K-O-C-K-E-N-L-O-C-K-E-R.”

3 things about Otto Preminger’s IN HARM’S WAY
In Harm’s Way [1965] 1. They both toss their pineapple garnishes off the veranda. 2. Bullet through the cheek. 3. “I’m so scared my bones are clicking, like dice on a Reno crap table.”
