Added 2022-06-20 03:32:08 +0000 UTC✨This was a request from my Top Tier patron Tyler - Thank you Tyler! ✨
Assault with a gun, and a bourbon, and a sports car
Another Hitchcock on the books! Murder at the UN, passionate affairs on a train, secret identities, teeny tiny guns, the CIA, a hilarious drunk Cary Grant, planes exploding and a showdown on Mount Rushmore!
Thanks for hanging out and watching with me!

Ya I agree, the pacing wasn't as tight as Psycho or Rear Window for sure on this one. I enjoyed the ending tho!

2022-06-26 19:00:20 +0000 UTCI'd not seen this one before. I was really into it in the beginning. But then it started to lose me somewhere in the middle. Perhaps because I had my Sunday afternoon sleepy head on and was fighting back that Grandad nap vibes that can often take me over. I hope that Rope finds it's way on the rosta at some point. But some of the others already mentioned might be fun to check out as well.

2022-06-26 15:26:27 +0000 UTCI'm definitely curious about Shadow of a Doubt, seeing as it's Hitchcock's fav!!

2022-06-22 01:06:29 +0000 UTCVertigo gets a lot of notice. It is a technicolor masterpiece. But Shadow Of A Doubt to me is a much more suspenseful and busy story. A great slice of small town American life and Hitchcock’s cited fave. I do think it tends to be overlooked, probably because it’s in black & white. But I watch it at least once a year…🫣

2022-06-21 01:23:38 +0000 UTCGreat pic! I know these older classics may not get the views more contemporary movies do, but I think still think it’s worthwhile to react some of these older classics from time to time. Makes for a more well rounded cinematic journey.

2022-06-21 00:29:43 +0000 UTCOkay, you’ve done Rear Window and North by Northwest But when you said, “If you guys have any more Hitchcock movies you think I should check out….” Indeed I do! “The Man Who Knew Too Much” (1956). Jimmy Stewart, Doris Day. This movie introduced the song “Whatever Will Be, Will Be (Que sera, sera)” sung by Doris Day. (It won an Oscar for Best Song at the 29th Academy Awards) It’s an integral part of the plot. This YouTube shows her performing it in clips from The Man Who Knew Too Much. https://youtu.be/xZbKHDPPrrc 🤞
