Euthanizing her horse was humane and painful, tended to prove absence of socopathy. As for marrying a "nutter" Mark admitted he wasn't perfect.moviedochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03617061594621924756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-72865347440892693002008-07-29T13:32:00.000-04:002008-07-29T13:32:00.000-04:00I can't figure out how the heroine withstood the a...I can't figure out how the heroine withstood the advances of the handsome Sean Connery.

Hitchcock changed a lot of the details (including the optimistic ending) to make it work better as a movie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
