Family Plot by Alfred Hitchcock

I hired this film from the library to have a look at some Alfred Hitchock films. I found this film as an overall very interesting and I would say its a definitely a must watch. I made some notes when watching it and here s what I got:

• This old lady saw a psychic called Blanch Tyler to talk about her dead sister, she wants her dead sisters help to find her son she made her give up 40 years ago.
• This old lady is willing to pay Blanch $10,000 dollars to try find the boy and reunite him to his real family.
• George whom is Blanch's boyfriend pretends to be from a law firm to get information out of blanch's clients so that she can pretend to be a psychic. George however actually is a cab driver who works for central cab.
• Trader- is a woman in a blonde wig but is actually brunette, whom does not talk at all when trading for diamonds, after one trading she went in a helicopter and was dropped in a golf course.
• Three people died in 1950 in a fire on the same day all being from the same family called Shoebridge, however 2 have one headstone which is quite old and the other 1 called Edward Shoebridge had a new headstone which doesn't make sense for all the people who died on the same day.
• As the film goes on I find out that Edward's headstone was made in 1965 but he died in 1950, George goes to find if he has a death certificate but it was declined, which makes us aware that he faked him own death.
• Edward Shoebridge actually turns out to be Arthur Adams and Joseph (Malony) is his wing man who trapped his parents in the house and made it go up in flames, which is how he faked him own death.
• Arthur Adams and his wife are Jewellery theifs and there is a big random for them, they are very clever, they kidnap people and keep them in a secret place in their house, one person they take is BIshop Wood who actually baptised Arthur as a baby, they take there victims by using an injection from the dentist Arthur goes to.
• Arthur Adams thinks George and Blanch are after him as he thinks they know he s a jewellery thief but actually Blanch wants to tell him this old lady wants to find her nephew to give him all her inheritance. So Arthur sends Malony his wing man to try and kill them however he ends up dying himself.
• Arthur's wife comes into their jewellery shop to tell him about there next trade but makes it look out like she buying something and she get's very distressed when Arthur says share and share alike? this bit confuses me as I get the impression Arthur's wife does not want to trade anymore but Arthur does!
• At the end Blanch goes to find this Arthur and is kidnapped in Arthur's house and George manages to find her, Blanch pretends to be unconscious and they manage to trap Arthur and his wife in there secret room. Then Blanch manages to find one of the diamonds by being an actual psychic, george rings the police and Blanch winks! this part confuses me on is she actually a psychic, as the whole film she pretends to be as George gets the information from people so it looks like she is an actual psychic, then at the end she manages to find a diamond with no help!
