positive · AI labelView post →Watching Hitch (2005) which is a movie partially about how romantic entanglement between journalists and their subjects is bad. Interesting.
neutral · AI labelView post →#filmnoir #moviesky #filmsky The first woman to direct a film noir, Ida Lupino #BOTD on the set of The Hitch-Hiker, in California’s Eastern Sierra, 1953
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Rear Window, my fave Hitch movie, once again. And I never fail to gasp at how stunning Grace Kelly's entrance into the movie is. Also also, Thelma *BY GOD* Ritter. One of the best character actresses to do it. Not that it's important, but it feels criminal that she never got Oscar gold. 🎥
positive · AI labelView post →About ten years ago, I decided I would review the silents on Alfred Hitchcock's list of top ten best film that he offered to a journalist in 1939. Mystery? Suspense? Murder? A little but Hitch really went in for sentimental romance and Cecil B. DeMille! moviessilently.com/2015/06/30/t...

It's TV movie qualities are why I like it so much, Hitch directing an NBC mystery movie and knocking it out of the park. Barbara Harris is wonderful as the last of the Hitchcock blondes.
