[QUOTE="Werewillie Oleson, post: 405163, member: 8"] I'm beginning to think that people have been watching "Hitchcock" the wrong way. Not as in "overrated", but maybe he was the best in offering the alternative to the more conventional Romance dramas and comedies. Romances that "just happen to happen" in spooky or dangerous situations, impossible romances (Rebecca & Mrs. Danvers) or the tragedy of the could-be romances ruined by psychopathy (Norman & Marion). When that unusual connection between characters really works, regardless of whatever criminal shenanigans, I think that's when Hitchcock shines out. But he's not the greatest storyteller, imo. I didn't think she was playing one of her real-life greatest hits, but it just sounds so....monstrous. Btw, I like Deadwood Stage and Move Over Darling [SIZE=3](I have both in dance cover-version aimed at the gay club audience but that's neither here nor there).[/SIZE] But they're still fun to discuss. And I'll never stop being curious - so many great and bad films to discover, so little time. [/QUOTE]
