- GoofsAs one reviewer pointed out, a body embedded in a glacier for forty years would not emerge pristine and unblemished. Moving ice acts like a mincing machine. Even today, bits of bodies are still surfacing at the bottom of mountain slopes.
- Quotes
[introduction, Hitchcock is on a mountain with a rope]
Alfred Hitchcock - Host: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I thought I would cut this rope since it seems to be obstructing my path. I can't seem to find my partner. He was here a moment ago then let out a cry and disappeared.
[the rope breaks and Hitchcock watches something fall to the ground]
Alfred Hitchcock - Host: My, my. I seem to have made a faux pas. My friend was on the other end of that rope. Rotten luck. He was also my business partner, but the show must go on. Tonight, we are presenting a chilly little tale entitled "The Crystal Trench". It follows at a respectful distance.
