It's amazing that Grace Kelly's career was only 2 years of theater and 5 years of films. 11 films, 5 of them in one year, 1954, the year before this film. She was definitely the best of Hitchcock's blondes. Look at the set of famous magazine photos she took in Jamaica the same year this was filmed. She's ludicrously beautiful, without makeup, in many of them.

I’ve given some thought for a movie to recommend and I think I have a good one: “The Lady Eve “ (1941) directed by Preston Sturges and starring Henry Fonda and Barbara Stanwyck. It’s a hilarious screwball comedy. Preston Sturges was a writer and director that had a string of hits in the 40s. I think it’s Barbara Stanwyck’s best role. I trying to remember who us in the lead in actors on your channel…I think it’s Jimmy Stewart followed by Cary Grant followed by Barbara Stanwyck.

@alisonm2796 2 жыл бұрын

I have to disagree with you on this one. I love Preston Sturges but for me his "The Palm Beach Story" with Claudette Colbert and Joel McCrea is much funnier than "The Lady Eve" precisely because I don't buy Barbara Stanwyck in her second persona. I know it's a minority opinion, but I find her acting over the top and her accent is really below par-who would be taken in by it? Henry Fonda, on the other hand, is superb. Stanwyck had great comedy chops (Ball of Fire, The Mad Miss Manton, Lady of Burlesque, Christmas in Connecticut) but I always wince at the last third of the "The Lady Eve". Colbert and McCrea have great chemistry too and the supporting cast is a hoot.

My favorite Hitchcock films are the Gaumont's. One of my many favorites from that period is "Young and Innocent." A very good film with perhaps the genesis of themes Hitchcock would visit over and over again. We don't care that he revisits themes over and over again because we are always curious. There is a problem with "Young and Innocent," intertwined with the final famous tracking shot-there is "black face."

Two of Hollywood's MOST elegant stars. Genius director, Alfred Hitchcock. The gorgeous setting in the South of France. Spectacular! I visit this channel because I love your enthusiasm for the clothes, the style, the visuals. While you rightfully talk about Grace (stunning, stunning Grace), I wanted you to talk more about the casual, effortless sophistication of Cary Grant's early scenes. That navy blue striped sweater with the red kerchief. (Honestly, one of my favorite Cart Grant outfits of all time!) Simple. Elegant. So appropriate for his life of sophisticated leisure on the Riviera. Wonderful. (I love the scene with Danielle in the boat. Both of them in their stylish, striped French sweaters. The gorgeous scenery in the background. Just lovely.) One more thing that must be said about Princess Grace. Not only does the gorgeous South of France setting foreshadow her meeting (and marrying) Prince Rainier.... This movie features a chaotic, nerve-wracking, high-speed drive through the twisty, narrow, high-altitude roads above the Mediterranean Sea. Tragically, this scene exactly foreshadows the way Grace Kelly ultimately died.

It has been an ultra-fave of mine for many years! Actor Felix Bressart whom you'll remember from "The Shop Around The Corner" has some very poignant moments as well as some hilarious ones.

This movie is one of my all-time favourites. I've stopped counting how often I have seen it on TV or since I got the DVD. A little trivia. The German version has changed a few details, namely that everyone from the kitchen crew was part of the circus and were stealing later. He was just the best of them and they handled the smuggling and sales of the stolen items. They removed the part of them being in the resistance. Even 10 years later WWII was still too fresh to leave that in. After years I don't know if I caught all the little Easter eggs playing his nickname. From the birds on the bus panicking after he sat down beside them, the ex-comrade in the kitchen offering him milk or the boat he flees with named 'Maquis Mouse'. This movie leaves me with only one question. What did he really steal from her during the fireworks? Really just her heart? Or more?

She needs to review "Holiday" which is an under the radar, under-rated film with the two of them...they filmed that and "Bringing Up Baby" both in 1938. They did 4 films together, the most of any if his leading ladies with Irene Dunne at 3 and Ingrid Bergman at 2. Another frequent pairing was the breathtakingly stunning Gene Tierney and Vincent Price. She needs to watch "A Place in the Sun" in 1951 with a gorgeous 18 yr old Liz Taylor and the hunky Montgomery Clift. (Taylor and Clift did 3 films before he died.) And "The Heiress" with de Havilland and Clift which she win her second Oscar for in 1949 as well as what I consider the original screwball comedy "The Awful Truth" in 1937 with Grant and Dunne and Ralph Bellamy (who would play second fiddle to Grant again in 1940 "His Girl Friday), which was nominated for a boatload of Oscars and McCarey won for best director. Same dog as "Bringing Up Baby" and the quote of him saying that Kathrine Hepburn's character was "making this up from motion pictures" when she called him "Jerry the Nipper" when they were in jail which is what Irene Dunne called him in the film "The Awful Truth" which came out the previous year...great inside joke for die-hard Grant fans. Another must watch Hitchcock film called "Suspicion" from 1941 with Joan Fontaine and Cary Grant where Cary is or isn't a gold-digging murderer in which Fontaine won her Oscar...more of a sympathy likely for her role in "Rebecca" in 1940 like Stewart winning for "The Philadelphia Story" (1940) instead of "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" (1939). Next to 1962, 1939 was the hardest year for Oscar competition in Hollywood history as far as quality top iconic films.

When Cary Grant stops at the police station before the funeral, it is one of the few times that he wears black socks, that match his shoes. I guess that he considered it a quasi-formal occaision. His norm is to wear socks that are coordinated with his tie, or shirt, and, of course expensive loafers.

For couple's chemistry I recommend Bonnie And Clyde from 1967. The most notorious couple in history xD

Yes, I love Cary Grant as well. I've seen him in about 20 films, which puts him up there with modern superstars like Tom Cruise and Harrison Ford. This film is in my Top 3 for Grant, as well as being in my Top 10 favorites for the 1950s. In fact, I have a pic from it on my wall, of Grant and Kelly in the car looking over the Mediterranean. Though yes, as soon as I saw that guy with the skunk hair and the limp I was like, Oooo it's an obvious Hitchcock side baddie!

As I recall, in the movie Green Fire, Kelly says she wants to marry a prince. It's no Hitchcock movie, but it does have a few interesting effect shots...and Grace Kelly.

5:31 Hitchcock loves this bit of a jump cut to a woman's scream in close-up. I also like it. Did it in "Thirty-Nine Steps."

If you want sharp, snappy dialogue performed Hollywood royalty, watch "The Philadelphia Story" with Cary Grant, Katherine Hepburn, and Jimmy Stewart. It just doesn't get any better than that !
