Doing research for a new book project and found this article in a 1981 @variety.com . I'd love to have been a fly on the wall in a pub with a bunch of drunk Irishmen watching "The Love Bug."

Did Alfred Hitchcock play a ghoulish prank on PSYCHO star Vera Miles by listing “Michael Scott” of “San Francisco” as the last guest of the Bates Motel before Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) met her demise? #Hitchcock #AlfredHitchcock

“I thought of Artie Green. There was bound to be a New Year's shindig going on in his apartment down in Los Palmas. Writers without a job. Composers without a publisher. Actresses so young they still believe the guys in the casting office. A bunch of kids who didn't give a hoot.” #ClassicHollywood
