Everett CollectionRun, Cary, run!One of my favorite movies in general and Alfred Hitchcock movies specifically marks a landmark year. "North by Northwest" turns 50. Cary Grant has never been suavier. (Is that a word') The plot is filled with twists...
1946 - Dir: Alfred Hitchcock Shown at The FeckenOdeon on 28th November, 2009 In the hands of many another director, “Notorious” would have been merely a film noir - a cruel story of a courageous, patriotic young woman turned inside out by manipulative and unscrupulous men, one of whom uses her love for him to force her into extreme danger. But with Hitchcock it becomes something deeper:...
There is an exhibition in Rome on the life of Princess Grace of Monaco (Via Terry Nelson .) I never knew that her confirmation name was "Bernadette." According to art historian Elizabeth Lev : The exhibit, however, lingers on the elaborate costumes she commissioned for her sophisticated balls and parties. This section, titled "The Queen of the Ephemeral" by curator Fredric Mitterand,...
Can you have multiple chins? I'm not talking just a double chin... I'm carrying octuplets! And they can't simply be 'hidden' - no matter what makeup websites say! Over the past few weeks I've been researching how to fix a double chin . While we're not yet tightened (still a bit Alfred Hitchcock like, actually), I am starting to notice a difference. As you get older, I've found that - contrary to what...
Today is the day when my ages goes up by a year making me 18. I have got quite excited about my birthday for a change as I am now officially an adult. As I’m not a naughty person, I shouldn’t get scared that I can now get admitted to jail if I break the [...]
Yesterday Sunset Gun's Kim Morgan posted a very nice q & a interview with Eva Marie Saint. A little too nice, if you ask me. Older showbiz folk tend to either recall their lives in a naked-blunt Klaus Kinski style (i.e., "I'm too old to muddy my memories with even a smidgen of bullshit") or with excessive fondness. Saint lives in the latter camp. Every big name she's worked with (Marlon...
I have no idea when someone somewhere decided that there was some kind of safety problem with gas pumps offering a locking clip at the end of the nozzle. You know, the little metal doo-hickey that lets you take your hand off the pump while the car fills with gas, then kicks back to let [...]
Annotating the Canon Sir Arthur Conan Doyle; Leslie S. Klinger (editor and annotator); The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes, Volume 1 (W.W. Norton & Co.; 2005; ISBN 978-0-393-05914-4; cover by Sidney Paget). I've gone back to Holmes every couple of years, sometimes reading the entire set again, sometimes just dipping into favorites (my first encounter was in a anthology supposedly edited by Alfred...
"Drama is life with the dull bits cut out. " ~Alfred Hitchcock Today: I am in NYC on a field trip with my students. It's supposed to be chilly but sunny...I'll be back with a full report (and maybe some pictures!) soon. Tomorrow: I am getting rid of my Facebook account. Sigh. I loved keeping in touch with people, especially as I was planning my high school reunion last summer, but there got...
Spoilers up to 11/5/09! I've been watching ABC's serial sci-fi drama "FlashForward" almost in real-time, meaning that it just sits on my TiVo for an hour or so. (To put it in context, I haven't gotten around to the "V"...
No one can definitely say 1959's North By Northwest is Alfred Hitchcock's best movie -- how to choose? -- but from first frame to last, it may well be his most entertaining. The first of Hitchcock's pictures to appear on the Blu-ray format (Warner Home Video, $35), the film has been given a $1 million restoration, and to say it looks utterly fantastic on high-definition -- one of the most astounding...
