Speaking of movies...

Now this one is a classic.

I hadn't seen this Hitchcock film before but I made the effort to watch it last night. (Mrs Dippers Donuts, being the culture vulture that she is decided instead to read the latest Vogue magazine...)

They just don't make movies like that anymore, snappy dialogue, tight directing, a real emphasis on plot and character development etc.

As for Cary Grant, well the epitome of suave sophistication that man. He would have made a brilliant James Bond me thinks.

Trivia note: The film contains one of movie history's great bloopers. In the scene where Cary Grant is shot in a restaurant, you can see the small boy at the next table covering his ears BEFORE the gun is fired!!

I LOVE this movie, although I do find the ending rather abrupt and well, disappointing. Kept me TOTALLY hooked till the last 2 mins though, GREAT movie. And Cary Grant................ oooooooooooh baby. One of the greats!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm surpised you found the ending disappointing lioness.
Do you mean the way that Cary Grant/Eva Marie Saint were just left hanging on Mt Rushmore?

Btw; Eva Marie Saint does for me what Cary Grant seems to do for you!!

Hehehehehe lucky you.

YES!!!!!!! I have only seen it once but if I remember correctly they are being chased and stuff, then it kinda cuts to that scene where they are hangin on Mount Rushmore and the credits roll. I just felt like it was all too abrupt and well, such a good movie deserved a better ending. Just my opinion though.
