"I happened to come across a funny anecdote about the famous British film director Alfred Hitchcock. When his granddaughter was a student, she and her classmates were asked to write a paper on Hitchcock’s favorite film, “Shadow of a Doubt.” She discussed the paper with her grandfather and Hitchcock kindly helped her. So she handed the paper in with confidence.
When she got the paper back, however, she had only a C with the comment, “You did not elaborate enough.” When she brought the C paper to her grandfather, Hitchcock said, “I’m sorry, that’s the best I can do.”
This hilarious anecdote reminded me of another funny episode about Charlie Chaplin. When a national contest was held to find the best impersonator of the celebrated comedic actor, Chaplin secretly entered the contest himself to see what would happen. He was standing in line with other applicants who resembled him, but nobody recognized him. On the stage in front of the judges, Chaplin made his own gestures and facial expressions skillfully, full of confidence. To his surprise, however, he did not win the contest."
