But you are right, I made a mistake, because the       query demanded only a top 4 rank *either* in a Hitchcock *or* in a       Welles film, but not in both of them. And Fontaine is on the list,       because she starred in "Rebecca" and "Suspicion" and had an       uncredited part in "Othello".              Now I replaced an "or" with "and" in the query, and here is the       corrected list:              | Baxter, Anne (I)       | Cotten, Joseph (I)       | Gielgud, John       | Harvey, Laurence (I)       | Leigh, Janet (I)       | Perkins, Anthony (I)       | Redgrave, Michael              The real list might be a bit longer, because the query doesn't work       when the actors are credited in the IMDb in order of appearance or       alphabetically.                     Manfred              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
