One of Hitch's Worst.


What a piece of junk!


DAMM: Drunks Against Mad Mothers

Disagree. Just re-watched it after probably a decade or so, and never enjoyed it more. Brilliant dialogue, Grace Kelly proving once more that she was the most beautiful woman on screen EVER (rivalled only by -- maybe -- Audrey Hepburn), perfect location, lovely cinematography...

Nothing to dislike. Not my favourite Hitchcock and certainly not my favourite movie, but complete enjoyment.

Some people think Vertigo is one of his worst. Well, to each his own.



Hey there, Johnny Boy, I hope you fry!

Vertigo is one of his worse . . . To Catch a Thief is a marvelous work, beautifully filmed . . .

I expected this response from you. But no, it's actually the opposite (even though I am a fan of this film)...



Hey there, Johnny Boy, I hope you fry!

The work is masterfully done . . . his smoothest effort . . .

I just finished this and I must say that I'm disappointed. The romance between Kelly and Grant to me was completely filler material and towards the end as I was expecting some thriller-esque twist (which usually happens in Hitchcock movies), it was predictable and boring.

reply

i think the ending is very amusing, when she says "mother's going to love it up here" and you see the expression on his face.

As the church bell chimes...

I agree. I was thinking (or perhaps hoping) that Grace Kelly was the thief, because otherwise the ending would be so predictable and her character so utterly useless.

reply

Surely that dubious distinction belongs to Family Plot or Frenzy. This easily excels over and above those two, but of course it doesn't come close to the greatness of Rear Window or North By Northwest.

reply

I don't agree. I think it is a very enjoyable film. One of my favourites.

reply

Stick with it Louise . . .it's one of Hitchcock's best! Sadly, most people don't really know what's it all about . . . just enjoy . . .

reply

It is pure enjoyment from beginning to end.

How true!

reply

Is it about something other than a husband hunter and cat burglar?

Genuinely curious. I liked it. Didn't love it as I'm not big on heist movies or romances but it was fun enough. I liked the mother and the scenery as well as some of the nighttime shots.

reply

It's one of his most boring films in my opinion. I usually drop off during it.

reply

Then go back and re-watch The Transformers.

reply

This is the same black and white thinking that is crippling society today. Maybe he hates Transformers. Grow up.

reply

Hitchcock didn't make movies for the uneducated dreck that people like you are. He made sophisticated "entertainments" for discerning viewers.

reply

Reiiow!

reply

This may not be in the vain of Psycho, but its still light fun and entertaining. Vertigo is not one of his worst. Its very good one.
