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.
