I don't think I'd get too excited about TOPAZ as a freeze-frame ending; since far too many students of Hitchcock seem at present to agree this "ending" was forced upon *very* limited footage by outside pressures. It was a case, I think, of having to freeze the frame rather than ending on a miserable--but the only possible--shot./mp ---- To signoff SCREEN-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF SCREEN-L in the message.
