does anyone know the reasoning why hitchcock chose Canada as the setting for I CONFESS ? (truly a great, great movie in hitchcock's obsession of the subject of accusing the wrong person. probably 80% of hitchcock's films have this issue as the main theme or as a collateral theme.

Maybe, because it was based on a French play, Hitchcock wanted to maintain its Gallic flavor without having to shoot in France by setting it in the very picturesque (and, at the time, very Catholic) Quebec City. Dave - Original Message - From: Michael B To:

I also would suspect that Hitchcock chose Quebec City because the tenets of the Catholic priesthood are at the root of the film. Hitchcock was a Catholic and Quebec City was a very Catholic city at the time of the production and easily provided the correct look for the film. I'm not sure when the

MessageYes, that's what I meant when I said very Catholic. I grew up in Quebec. And, no, the tax breaks didn't come into effect till the 1970s. That said, obviously Quebec City at the time was delighted that he shot it there and did everything to encourage it in order to promote tourism. Dave

Those posters were produced in Marin County (Corte Madera, CA) north of SF in the late 1960s-early 1970s when there was an early interest in old Hollywood films. They were available in stores like Cost Plus and were used to decorate dorm room, etc. I believe hey sold for $5. each.

I remember these Portal Posters offered in comic books and record clubs I used to belong to in the 1960's and early 1970's. I think at one point they were even offered in Mad magazine. I always remembered them because the sizes were way off compared to regular one sheets. Plus they were so
