McGuffin v. Wenie

DIRECTOR ALFRED HITCHCOCK IS A BRITISH UPSTART WITH NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLLYWOOD LANGUAGE [TIME, DEC. 18]. THE THING THE HERO CHASES IS NOT A MCGUFFIN, BUT A WENIE AND HAS BEEN EVER SINCE THE DAYS OF MACK SENNETT. THE STOLEN PEARLS WERE PLACED IN A WENIE. THE WENIE WAS STOLEN BY A DOG. AND THE DOG WAS CHASED BY EVERYONE INCLUDING THE KEYSTONE COPS. THEY ARE STILL CHASING HIM...
