But my favourite film by Hitch is one of his colour works - Rear Window.Chief Brodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06349191596739768109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8023468619678368795.post-70294577041275641732011-09-12T14:54:08.353-04:002011-09-12T14:54:08.353-04:00I haven't seen Joan Fontaine in Rebecca, she w...I haven't seen Joan Fontaine in Rebecca, she was great in Letter from an Unknown Woman(1948),one of my favourites.<br /><br />Portrait of Jennie (1948), has a really unique atmosphere I remember, I agree about the cinematography. <br /><br /><br />You can check 10 b/w films I recommend here:<br /> <br />http://moviesandsongs365.blogspot.com/search/label/black%20and%20whiteChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8023468619678368795.post-42347748372661070112011-08-29T07:46:16.594-04:002011-08-29T07:46:16.594-04:00i love patricia highsmith's writing, if you co...i love patricia highsmith's writing, if you come across it i'd love to know your thoughts.<br /><br />rebecca is still daphne du maurier's most famous novel as far as i can tell and not because of the movie. although hitchcock had a thing for picking interesting novels as his source material. i found out today that psycho was originally a novel and Hitchcock creditted the novel entirely for his movies success.<br /><br />i think i own charade (still yet to view it) but you picked love in the afternoon for your list so i have to go find it.blahblahblah Tobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370451386116555733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8023468619678368795.post-60996507118562885592011-08-28T20:48:52.963-04:002011-08-28T20:48:52.963-04:00This is great, Sherry, one of these days I have to...This is great, Sherry, one of these days I have to get to a lot of the Hitchcock classics and you've given me lots of great recommendations. I just tweeted you about Gregory Peck... man, he truly is the most gorgeous actor ever, even today's handsomest actor can't hold a candle to that man (not even my boy Gerry Butler!!) I have to start watching his films (so far I've only seen Roman Holiday), starting with Spellbound!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8023468619678368795.post-4496487336928568482011-08-28T20:30:55.893-04:002011-08-28T20:30:55.893-04:00What can I say?

I haven't read the novel that Strangers on a Train is based on, but now I'm curious to find it. <br /><br />I also haven't read Rebecca either. With most Hitchcock films, I can pick a signature shot for it but with Rebecca I can't but I enjoy watching Joan Fontaine and Judith Anderson's performance in it rather than Hitchcock's direction.<br /><br />I know that most Audrey Hepburn fans say that her best performance is in either Roman Holiday or Breakfast at Tiffany's. But I prefer her in Love in the Afternoon and Charade more than in those two films.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03436345549356737301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8023468619678368795.post-43381243907639921912011-08-28T04:37:15.934-04:002011-08-28T04:37:15.934-04:00wow thats a lot of Hitchcock! i wonder, have you r...wow thats a lot of Hitchcock! i wonder, have you read the novel that Strangers was based on? i can't find a copy anywhere and im wondering if its worthwhile.<br /><br />i may have to check out love in the afternoon pretty soon, i love wilder and hepburn and if shes better than in roman holiday it must be good.<br /><br />i think ive seen rebecca but only remember the concept not the film itself. it cant have left much of an impression on me sadly. i definitely havent read the novel however.blahblahblah Tobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370451386116555733noreply@blogger.com
