Having a TV can be fun. I stumbled into a series of classic Hitchcocks. This is one of those films that has so many bits I've seen *somewhere* and often seen parodied, and then gone "Oooh! They're from this!"
(1) The title. I knew it was famous without knowing where from.
(2) The "forced to drink and then put at the wheel of a car" opening.
(3) The crop-duster. One of the famoustest ever.
(4) The hanging-from-mount-rushmore. Though I might have that muddled up -- all Hitchcocks seem to end like that :)
Unfortunately I was unpacking at the same time, so sort of missed what was actually going on. But I get the impression that's not actually that important ;)

3) The gin was so Cary Grant (the actor) could act fake drunk in a silly way (and so they could manhandle (mmm, womanhandle Cary Grant) him (the character) into a car and crash it as if he was DUI (hrm, wonder what forensics were like back then).
4) Cary Grant was too busy acting fake drunk ;)
