Key words: terminology; application; truth

The alibi is the most well-known professional term in criminal investigation terms, especially in the years when mystery novels and films and television were popular, this term is more widely spread.

An alibi means that at the time of the crime, if the suspect can prove that he is in another place or not at the scene of the crime, he has a certificate that he is not a suspect. This is generally where the suspect is most concerned about outside the criminal method.

This story is very interesting, just like Hitchcock's Freak on a Train, grasping the use of alibi, let us follow the prisoners to experience the stimulation of crime implementation, wandering on various edges, just like people's criminal thoughts, crime The game is just a small spiritual derailment, and there is no substantive problem.

Hitchcock knew what people liked to watch, and was always clever with some edge shots, then hiding behind the screen and sneering. In the golden age of the past, when it was both prosperous and depressed, full of beautiful women and bullets, the story was the most exciting, gray and beautiful.

The final trend is also very interesting. Hitch is not trying to promote what is good and evil, but a kind of humor and spoof that is not as good as the sky, which makes people smile at the plot, and has a vague attitude that is interesting, please Look closely at the ad, it will be your best alibi. Now many works are in need of orientation, film and television are just film and television, why should it be so serious.

Alfred Hitchcock Presents quotes

  • [Hitchcock arrives for his introduction dressed in a safari outfit and pith helmet]

    Alfred Hitchcock - Host: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to darkest Hollywood. Night brings a stillness to the jungle. It is so quiet, you can hear a name drop. The savage beasts have already begun gathering at the water holes to quench their thirst. Now one should be especially alert. The vicious table-hopper is on the prowl, and the spotted back-biter may lurk behind a potted palm. To take me through this most savage of lands, I have hired a native guide.

    [He snaps his fingers. An old man joins him, wearing a billboard sign that reads, "Maps of the Movie Stars' Homes - For Sale"]

    Alfred Hitchcock - Host: He claims to know where I can find the big ones.

  • Alfred Hitchcock - Host: [introducing commercials at the end of the show] I hope you have enjoyed our program. Seeing a murder on television can help to work off one's antagonisms. And if you haven't any antagonisms, these commercials will give you some.
