Yet another photo of that “ordinary chap<\/a>“.<\/p>\n Yeah, you know. Totally ordinary. Uh huh. Reguluar dude.<\/p>\n Hitchcock saw something different in him. Suspicion<\/i> (that’s him with Joan Fontaine) was Hitchcock’s first attempt to tap into the darkness beneath the gleam. It didn’t work quite<\/i> well although the film is SO worth seeing. Especially the spectacular shot <\/a>of Grant ascending the staircase with the glowing glass of milk(Hitchcock put a lightbulb in the liquid.) But in Notorious<\/i> – “ordinary chap” and Hitchcock really hit their stride together. I see Suspicion<\/i> almost as a rehearsal for that other film (a film that I consider to be perfect. I don’t say that about too many films. But to me – Notorious<\/i> is without a flaw.)<\/p>\n Oh – and funnily enough – I get quite a bit of traffic to one of the quotes from my “movie quote” game – the one about “Your ucipital mapilary is quite beautiful”. Ha! It’s from Suspicion<\/i> and I often wonder if people are looking for quotes from the film – or if they’re looking for, you know, medical information: “My ucipital mapilary is swollen. Should I be worried?”<\/p>\n I guess I need a happy place because my gynecologist got kind of impatient with me today. Snapped at me a bit, and seemed like he didn’t want to explain things more than once. And I feel really raw and upset about it. Like … I just can’t deal with that energy in that environment. It made me really upset.<\/p>\n Okay. Happy place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yet another photo of that “ordinary chap“. Yeah, you know. Totally ordinary. Uh huh.
