Dead Bodies, a Comedy

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Cinemah—

For almost everyone reading this is a filmmaker—

Hitchcock has amusing takes on the corpse, and everything he does is two thirds comedy.

Of course the very idea of having a body is a little spooky.

May I, therefore, invite you to a picnic in a graveyard?

After that we can see a movie, which we may like so much we buy the book, and rent the play.

I will not disguise from you that we plan on making a lot of money with this.

With such sincerity as I can manage,

Robert
