Yep, definitely too famous for this thread. Shoulda gone with maybe… _Well, he acts like he has genuine emotions. Um, of course he’s programmed that way to make it easier for us to talk to him. But as to whether he has real feelings is something I don’t think anyone can truthfully answer_ …which sounds non-specific enough to apply to several films on this subject. And of course less famous. EDIT: _Why would Thorwald want to kill a little dog? Because it knew too much?_ ---
