In Reply to: Alfred Hitchcock Favorites for 1st time or repeat viewing posted by edta on June 18, 2000 at 17:56:48:
Vertigo was recently re-relased theatrically with a restored print, etc. This, along with "Rear Window" are my favorites.Jimmy Stewart is my favorite Hitchcock lead. He appears to be such an "aw, shucks" nice guy; then before you know what's happened, he's a worm. Very, very subtle stuff going on here. Great courage for a major "star" to take such unflattering, unheroic parts.
"Rear Window" is also notable for the appearance of Grace Kelly, who -- pardon my disagreement Victor -- really IS the sun, even though I admit that Audrey is the Moon & stars.
I saw both movies in the theater when they originally were released (those were the days when parents could safely drag their kids to a movie if they couldn't find a sitter) and didn't "get" them. Have seen both repeatedly since then. "Rear Window" also was recently re-relased theatrically, but didn't get a chance to see it again in a good movie house.
