I like her in Strangers on a Train but it is a bit of an anomaly in her filmography, she was usually cast as a tougher broad which suited her personality. I think she was at a bit of a disadvantage since her decade of major activity was focused more on the flowery, dutiful wife rather than the more aggressive take charge dame that she excelled at. She would have been bigger in the 30's or 40's I think. joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-53381789149884399452021-04-23T04:26:36.457-04:002021-04-23T04:26:36.457-04:00I thought Rebecca was okay as it could have been m...I thought Rebecca was okay as it could have been more tense but I loved the atmosphere and the acting was really good too.

Now I have my COVID "passport" card so we can take our road trip this year. Hopefully I won't be expected to keep wearing a ridiculous mask much longer. The other day I saw a few defiant people going to the supermarket without masks without being challenged while I was observing them. Hope people start coming to their senses about the masks. There is no logic to them. But that's my opinion based on logic.<br /><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-24388502738115636592021-04-22T13:21:42.856-04:002021-04-22T13:21:42.856-04:00This is a great genre--a favorite for my wife and ...This is a great genre--a favorite for my wife and I. I've seen your first 2 picks and they are good ones. Now to use my brain to recollect.<br /><br />Firstly I think of <i>Repulsion</i> by Roman Polanski. That one is all about psychological stuff. One of my favorite films.<br /><br /><i>Vertigo</i> of course, but Hitchcock has so many from which to choose.<br /><br />Another favorite of mine is <i>Mulholland Drive</i> by David Lynch. That film is such a crazy weird mindbender.<br /><br />Arlee Bird<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-4700663814776083372021-04-22T13:10:21.630-04:002021-04-22T13:10:21.630-04:00I haven't seen any off your picks although by ...I haven't seen any off your picks although by the sounds of it that Joseph Cotton character (speaking in video?) strikes me as a nut job.

I was stretching it last week and just ch...Hi Joel! I was stretching it last week and just choosing 3 movies I saw with female cinematographers but this week I was wondering which films to choose. Rebecca, you are right, is not one of Hitchcock's strongest films even though Joan won an Oscar for her role. Judith Anderson is at her creepy best that's for sure. I have loved Shadow from the start because it is so unique and Cotton is superb as a serial killer. The Spiral Staircase is another I had seen many years ago and fell in love with its unique presence. I must have a thing for serial killer movies. <br />I have not seen your first 2 films but I know about them and have wanted to see them. Interesting that Ruth Roman plays in the first film as I know her best as the sweet fiancee to Stewart Granger in Strangers On A Train(another all time favourite of mine). I love Shutter island which is perfect here and I didn't think about it. It is very well done and without gangsters and the F bomb every 2 seconds. I would rather have the Pfizer shot but..oh well.

How I love George Sanders in Rebecca and Mrs. Danvers almost seems like an evil ghost. Teresa Wright was, what I call, an intelligent actress who is not known too much today which is a shame. Joseph Cotton is another of my favourite actors who could play heroes and villains equally. The house in The Spiral Staircase is a major player just like Manderley and I love both homes. Wait Until Dark is a great movie and Audrey was perfect in the role. I never saw that tv show but I want to look it up now.Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-32252919971778344032021-04-22T12:21:19.922-04:002021-04-22T12:21:19.922-04:00I hope I am not ill but others, I know, have been ...I hope I am not ill but others, I know, have been so keeping fingers crossed.
