I watched Strangers On A Train yesterday - so I can't classify any film Hitchcockian except those by Mr. Hitchcock. 

The others are but pale imitations.

I am astonished that the cast members of DR GEORGE's show are expected to print out their own scores & scripts.

Now of course, some people may use them on their phones or tablets.....but how do you make blocking notes?

I don't like it.

I like thrillers, but I don't feel I've seen enough Hitchcock films to know what the hell allusions to another movie as Hitchcockian even means.

Definitely MIRAGE, as BK noted, but first in that decade there was CHARADE.

Other than those, what would I personally identify as really Hitchcockian? I don't know. Could FRANTIC qualify?

I won't include Brian De Palma's blatant homages to Hitchcock, because, well, duh. And the mostly dumb remakes of things by other people only copy the general story line; they have no idea what made the original film a masterpiece.

Yes, same here, unless something was lost in translation. Since when are cast members not handed their scripts or sides or libretto books or whatever they're called on day one? Sunday and the other Sondheims are MTI, right? Has something changed on certain shows?

Apple Music Classical service/app launches today, but so far the app is only available for Apple devices.

Has anyone read Shades of Gaiety by Kate Atkinson? It’s set in London after WWI and before the Great Depression. It’s fun so far. I’m about a quarter in.

There have been two Dickens jokes that made me laugh out loud. One involved an uneducated lass who thought Oliver Twist was the name of a biscuit.
