Cary Grant... the man couldn't make a bad movie. Arsenic and Old Lace, Bringing Up Baby, The Philadelphia Story, Gunga Din, His Girl Friday, Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House, The Bishop's Wife, To Catch a Thief, Charade, My Favorite Wife.... as you can see, there's a list. :)

Hitch does nothing by accident, it ended perfectly, if you understand the *"Train entering the Tunnel"* was supposed to mirror the consummation of their marriage, LOL.

In the restaurant, Thornhill signalled the waiter immediately after Mr Kaplan was paged. The heavies assumed that he was Kaplan. James Mason and Martin Landau were perfectly creepy baddies in this. One of Hitchcock's best (along with Vertigo and Rear Window, IMO) intricate plot, chases, jeopardy, and witty dialogue. A classic.

This was fun! Very much looking forward to exploring more Hitchcock movies with you... Rear Window, Vertigo, Psycho, so many others worth your time. And not just Hitchcock. There are so many great films, it's a great pleasure being on your Patreon and voting for what you watch next!

If you look very carefully at the movie starting a minute before Thornhill is first kidnapped near the hotel restaurant, you'll see why they think he's Kaplan. It's a timing coincidence. There are many very great directors alive now who will be remembered and admired for centuries, but Hitchcock was greater than any of them. Try his movie "Psycho."

One of my all time favorites

The cornfield scene is one of the best on film. Such a brilliant buildup of tension, the innocent seeming crop dusting plane in the distance…

Do check out Charade (with Cary Grant and the wonderful Audrey Hepburn). Think you will enjoy!

If you start watching Hitchcock's films, start looking for his famous cameos. His cameo in "Lifeboat" is the best! I enjoyed your reaction. Thanks.

You can't go wrong with a Hitchcock movie or his TV series. North by Northwest was so full of plot twists and unexpected events and lots of known movie faces of the time. Eva Marie Saint will be 100 this July 4th.

The man who looks like he has blood on his hands is actor Martin Landau. Very well known, a regular on the original Mission: Impossible television series.

I'm in my 50s and have never seen this. Time to go find it...

The dialogue in this movie is incredible. So many wonderfully smart lines and responses. The fact they were delivered by such top-tier iconic actors performing at the top of their game is the cherry on the cake. The whole movie is like the most delicious glass of cinematic champagne. Sure, it is just fizz, but it is delectable fizz!

Great movie great cast!

As others have mentioned, Eva Marie Saint is 99 currently. She's not a typical Hollywood actress--didn't live in Hollywood or Los Angeles, was married to her husband, a doctor, for 65 years until is Jeff in 2016. My mother went to high school with Eva Marie, near Albany, New York. My mother said Eva Marie, whom I think they called Marie, was sweet and good natured. My mother told a story of how there was a high school sorority among a few girls, including my mother and Eva Marie, who would meet in the attics of the houses of members. At one of their meetings, one of the girls said that she did not need a bra, even though she was fairly well endowed. To prove it she took off her blouse and bra, and pranced around to show that things stayed in place. Eva Marie, who was completely flat chested, said, "Watch this girls!" , and she likewise removed her blouse and bra and pranced around to show that nothing flopped around. The girls laughed so hard a couple of them wet their pants. I met Eva Marie backstage in October 1972 when my mother, my sister, and I went to see her in a short run play, costarring Fred Gwynne, called The Lincoln Mask, at the Plymouth Theater in New York City. Because she played the part of Mary Todd, who was a shrew in the play, my mother wondered if her personality had changed because she was so sweet in high school. I said, "Mom, that's acting." We were in the second or third row of the theater, and my mother threw a folded piece of paper with a message onto the stage just after one of the acts, which was highly embarrassing, but no one saw it and it got swept off the stage when the furniture rolled off during the scene change. After the curtain call, my mother also called out Eva Marie's high school nickname, and said she saw her do a stutter step when exiting the stage. I didn't see it, but when we met her backstage she said she did hear it called out, and she knew someone from way back was in the audience. When we met her backstage, in her dressing gown, after my mother gave her maiden name because Eva didn't know her married name, she took us to her dressing room and she was as nice as could be. I actually stayed a few minutes longer, separately, to talk to her, and she asked about my life, even though she didn't know me.

You missed him turning around when a call for Mr Kaplan was called

I know that at least one commenter explained how Van Damm's goons mistook Roger for George Kaplan, so I won't repeat it here. I will let you know that Hitch often puts important details at the very beginning of the movie. They may not be critical to the final result of the movie, but it is important background material. How Van Damm's goons mistook Roger for Kaplan happened in the beginning of the movie and only lasted a few seconds of screen time. So, please pay close attention to the beginning of Hitchcock's movies. It will save you from speculating on why something is happening so that you can concentrate on what else is going on in the movie. This is particularly important if you watch "Rear Window". The detail in the beginning has maybe a couple of seconds of screen time, but spotting that detail will keep you from concentrating on why people are doing things that you will eventually figure out, but you will continue to wonder about until you do.

Did you catch the meaning of the ending scene? They are on their honeymoon after getting married, then we see a train going into a tunnel! Hitchcock's hilarious ending! How did he get that through the censors?

I can’t think of a bad Hitchcock movie.

It ended abruptly on purpose. Hitchcock intended it to be surprising and humorous. Also notice the intentional symbolism of the closing scene, where the train speeds into the tunnel. That was Hitchcock.

Love Hitchcock movies. You can’t go wrong with any of them. 👍🇺🇸

The film's final image is Hitchcock's sly cinematic visual to indicate to the audience the phallic activity taking place between the couple.

Loved your reaction! Rear Window by Hitchcock is another great one!

As others have already pointed out, there was nothing abrupt about that ending. Watch it again and you'll see it was S tier filmmaking from Hitchcock. Great directors know it is best to not linger too long; getting out quickly is always best if you can do it well. To go from her being in mortal danger to being pulled out of it and into her honeymoon bed with the train then going through a tunnel was just perfect. It can't be bettered. And, of course, a great death scene for Leonard and Vandamm's one last great line added to the ending. Hitchcock was the master.

Hey cellmate: “What’d he do?” The answer is in the early bar scene.

This is one of my favorite Hitchcock films. First would be Rear Window. Not Hitchcock, but similar sort of film also starring Cary Grant that I recommend is Charade.

Check Outt he kid in the background putting his fingers in his ears in anticipation of the gunshot at the 20:15 mark

Yours was an excellent review and commentary of a classic Hitchcock film.

Hitchcock is a director I adore. Shadow of a Doubt, To Catch a Theif, Notorious, and Dial M for Murder are a few of my favorites you may like.

You didn't mention the comedy at the end. It is such a witty movie!

Love seeing you react to this Hitchcock masterpiece!

Honeymoon and the train goes into the tunnel. Hitch said that there was only one piece of symbolism at the end. People waited through the movie to find it. Everyone was pleased

I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed watching you watching one of my favorite Hitchcock movies. You picked a great one for your first Hitchcock. I've seen it at least 30 times and it never gets old. There are several more fabulous Hitchcock movies starring Cary Grant - Notorious with Ingrid Bergman and To Catch a Thief with Grace Kelly. Both also among my favorite movies.

Enjoyed your reaction. Hope you watch more Hitchcock ! There are so many good ones. Would recommend Rear Window and Vertigo for sure. Notorious is also worth watching if you like Cary Grant.

So many reviewers totally miss the beginning when the bell boy is shouting for me Kaplan . Cary grant waves him down to make a phone call to his mother. But the henchmen assume he is Kaplan since he responded to the bell boy’s call.

Mistaken identity at the beginning in the hotel bar

A truly great hitchcock film

Here’s one. Considered one of the great Australian movies. Muriel’s Wedding. Features n abba soundtrack. Comedy, sort of.

Alfred Hitchcock. 👏👏👏👏❤

If you are really interested in watching great old movies, you need to watch a real classic named "12 Angry Men". It's was made in 1957 in black and white. I won't give anything away, but 12 actors who went on to be some great ones. 99% of the movie is set in one room. The camera work is perfect and the story is riveting. This is a must watch. Bill.

Fantastic!

Hey buddy, after reacting to some of my favourite artists including ABBA and Kate Bush you are now reacting to movies and one of my fav directors. Rear Window, Vertigo and Psycho are three Hitchock must sees. Please react to more ABBA nd Kate as well 😀

Hitchcock was always a trail blazer. Give "Psycho" a try.

I want that house

Alfred Hitchcock, my all-time favorite cenematic genius. This, along with "Rear Window," (Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly together..wow!), "To Catch A Thief" and "Dial M For Murder" are all Hitchcockian masterpieces! Thanks for the amazing reaction! 😊

This, and Rear Window, and the lesser-known The Trouble with Harry, are my favourite Hitchcock films.

The only comedy directed by Hitchcock is good, too. Mr and Mrs Smith with Carole Lombard and Robert Montgomery. 1941

Two words: Rear Window

Check out Rear window
