Wow, I have no idea yet. You dunno who was in it, eh?
Nothing. I can only remember a phone call and a spooky voice saying the name over and over. I can't picture a person's face, or anything else about it. Which makes me think it was more 60s than 70s -- something I may have just seen part of. For all I know, it could've been some movie of the week or a Mission Impossible or an old Hitchcock hour. I just don't know.

I'm looking thru IMDb's Hitchcock TV show's summaries...

You saw it on TV, yes? Was it in color? About what time in your history did you see it? What were some of your viewing a habits at that time, what shows?

It doesn't seem to be a Hitchcock TV episode.

I am a total blank. The only reason I even remembered this was from an episode of The Office when Michael calls Pam and does this to her. They often make references to other movies or pop references, and as soon as he did it, it immediately triggered this memory.

I'm totally sorry, I just can't picture anything about this except some vague guesses. I was just hoping you film buffs would go, I know this! And fill me in. lol. Thanks for trying so hard to find it blunty.

How'd you find that video?
This has just been bothering me all day and I've had my brain focusing on it. Oddly, Sela Ward came into my head for whatever reason. I just googled her and looked at what she had done. Saw the title of the movie, sounded about right and I had seen it. Looked for youtubes, and found this.

So, maybe this chanty name thing came from this.

Maybe, I guess. BTW, thanx for reminding me how hot Sela Ward is. Still is. I saw her on an ep of House and she's at least as good looking older than she's ever been.

I'll check those out and see if something is familiar. I may end up writing the head writer of The Office to see where that homage came from.
