Congrats, @alanleroy! You correctly guessed the mystery photo.

I’ll DM the e-gift card to you shortly. This contest lasted 3.5 days, so $80 will be donated to VMB from me, and $80 from @ColoVegPlayer (thanks for matching!).

Thanks for playing everyone, and the thoughtful guesses.

Hint #1: It’s not that (maybe I wish it were).
Not legs. But to bookend, I was going to post this photo which could be Google image searched to Eva Marie Saint, who played Eve Kendall in the movie.


Hint #2: roger
Roger Thornhill, the character Cary Grant plays.

Hint #3: decoy
The plot involves a case of mistaken identity, and Thornhill pretends to be someone he isn’t.

Hint #4: code 76
The code the police call in when having Thornhill in custody.

Hint #5: referencing the first post of my TR.
Hidden clue: “Call it women’s intuition or ESPN or both” — from Scary Movie 3.

In the movie, Martin Landau’s character says, “Call it my woman’s intuition, if you will, but I’ve never trusted neatness. Neatness is always the result of deliberate planning.”

Hint #6: photo of LaSalle Street Station
From the Grand Central Station in NYC, Thronhill and Eve arrive by train at LaSalle Street Station in Chicago.

Hint #7: sand and sunburn
In the movie trailer, director Alfred Hitchcock asks us if we’re ready for a vacation. “You’ve a choice between sand and sunburn or mountain climbing and the charley horse.”

Hint #8: 0-3682
Hitchcock makes his regular film cameo by trying to enter a bus that shuts its doors on him, a bus with that license plate.


Hint #9: saint
Eva Marie Saint.

Hint #10: executive suite
Screenwriter Ernest Lehman also wrote the Robert Wise film of Executive Suite.

Hint #10: the photo is not related to Las Vegas (nor Nevada)
(Two hint #10s by accident, or you could say one was a case of mistaken identity like the movie plot.)
None of the movie takes place in Vegas, but they sure do travel everywhere else. Another hint would’ve been something related to the movie Rushmore by Wes Anderson.

Hint #11: it’s not treble, but…
bass. Saul Bass designed the opening titles for the movie.

Hint #12:


Hitchcock makes his same cameo as he rushes to the bus and passes by this D.S.N.Y. standing ashtray.

Hint #13:


From the opening credits to the series Mad Men.


Thornhill is in advertising, the opening titles is of a man falling and was inspired by Saul Bass and Hitchcock.

Hint #14: good evening
Hitchcock often opened his TV episodes with this iconic phrase.

 

This was fantastic! Really enjoyed trying to figure it out! I know at one point I had stumbled upon North by Northwest, but didn't put it all together! Next time!!!!
