Regarding hobbit-clothes and suspenders: I'm guessing that in the scriptwriters' minds, by the time Sam gets to Frodo, Frodo's mithril shirt is gone but his clothes (shirt and suspenders) are still in a rumpled pile in the corner where the orcs were fussing over them. The mithril shirt was the big deal, in their mind. Frodo didn't collect any lembas-peices off the floor, and all that... <P>Non-canonical, I know.
