Right now, there's an Alfred Hitchcock retrospective going on at AMC. I'm taping "Rear Window" and "Shadow of a Doubt" will be on later.Saw "Torn Curtain" and "Vertigo" already. I had never seen either before and they were both suspensful. The death scene in "Torn Curtain" is supposedly a classic. I remember seeing "Shadow of a Doubt" some time ago and thought it was very good, probably the best Hitchcock for me up to that time. Now the question is, does "Shadow" hold up as a rerun? I'll find out soon.
Looking over the archives, petew liked Vertigo and noticed many things on reviewing that escaped the first round. That's, I think, the mark of a classic.
