The telling interest in Cary Grant…
July 24, 2010
So this evening MrsDoF and I saw To Catch A Thief at the historic Normal theater. Nice, but here’s the interesting part. To me, it’s an Alfred Hitchcock film. To her, a Cary Grant movie. Repeated testing showed that this difference of perception is quite firmly set.
Thief was OK but not one of Hitchcock’s better efforts. I liked North By Northwest, Rear Window, Psycho, The Birds, and Vertigo better. However on checking his filmography, I find that, while I have seen most of his British silent and sound films, (some of which were wonderful, but a few of the earliest ones had me hitting the fast-forward button), there are a number of his American films that I have not seen. I should look them up.
