Draws on

Alfred Hitchcock: 1 line

lineage (lineage) · through The Truman Show (1998), which they acted in: Alfred Hitchcock ⇒ The Truman Show (the host's read). Same line: the premise is Frank Capra crossed with Hitchcock.
“you basically take Frank Capra and Alpha Hitchcock and you put it together, and that's what this movie is.”
The Rewatchables · ‘The Truman Show’ With Bill Simmons, Glen Powell, and Chris Ryan · 0:29:43 · unknown (0.40 sure it was them)

Frank Capra: 1 line

lineage (lineage) · through The Truman Show (1998), which they acted in: Frank Capra ⇒ The Truman Show (the host's read). Nichol's idea is described as Capra plus Hitchcock combined.
“you basically take Frank Capra and Alpha Hitchcock and you put it together, and that's what this movie is.”
