On the pedophilia question, Tom Topor (of "Nuts" and "The Accused" fame) wrote and directed an HBO movie in 1990 called "Judgment," with David Strathairn as the pedophile priest as well as Keith Carradine, Blythe Danner, Jack Warden, Robert Joy, and Dylan Baker (of "Happiness" fame). On the death question, my essay "Alfred Hitchcock: Registrar of Births and Deaths" looks at Hitchcock's last completed film, "Family Plot," from the standpoint of his intensifying intimations of mortality. It appeared in the Hitchcock Annual and has been reprinted in Sidney Gottlieb and Christopher Brookhouse, eds., "Framing Hitchcock: Selected Essays From the Hitchcock Annual" (Wayne State UP, 2002).
