Picture must have been taken during the filming of North by Northwest… embarrassingly, at first glance I thought the woman was Grace Kelly instead of Eva Marie Saint even though they have completely different profiles (“All blondes look alike”??), but recognizing James Mason quickly “reoriented my vision”.
Who’s the woman? She looks so familiar and I know I should know, but I’m having a braincramp.
Eva Marie Saint!
Have I ever blogged about my intense adolescent crush on James Mason? I think not.
Oh my God, you must (along with blogging the Reformation, of course).
I still remember your posts about Anthony Perkins.
Oh and Anne- I’m not sure how it happened but I have started to read No Tickling – and I know you guys are friends – and I just love her blog. It’s so honest.
I need to known why they’re hanging around a harp.
Alex – I know … i was thinking: could it be for the auction scene?
But then if you see in the background, there appears to be a lady sitting at a table. Which makes me think that the 3 of them are at an awards ceremony or something.
Why a harp would be at an awards ceremony is beyond me, however.
Just curious…where did you get that photo from?
From what I can find, it comes from a booklet that
accompanied the soundtrack for North by Northwest.
I plan to watch it again soon.
I’ll keep my eyes out for a harp in the
movie.
Regards.
Hank – I found it here, in this aritcle in the NY Times about Hitchcock and music.

I’m going to find out. It does seem to be some kind of function or something doesn’t it? Maybe a publicity party for the film? Or the wrap party?
I must find out.
I love Cary Grant’s expression. Jesus he makes me happy.
I know – he’s such a goofball!!!
But look at James Mason too – hahahahaha Like the part he plays in that movie is so slimy, but look at him!
Could it be a studio Christmas party?
I’m trying to remember if that was a costume Eva Marie Saint wore during the film – and I think it might be.
See her dress?
But I could be wrong.
Yes, No Tickling is great. I’ll have to think of the angle for my James Mason love.
It had to have been during the auction scene. The wardrobe’s the same and there was a harp in the background. Confirmed!
dorkafork – words cannot express how cool I think you are for tracking that down and confirming. Awesome!!
Yep, James is wearing the same tie.
Great job, dorkafork!
