Day 02 - The last movie you watched
Not my favorite Hitchcock ever. Cary Grant was better in North by Northwest, which really also does the "you've got the wrong man!" plot line more justice anyway. Cary Grant sure got tanned filming in the south of France, though. He looks like what John Boehner is going for with his spray tanner but just can't manage without eight-to-fifteen hours in the sun a day. Story was so-so, though the dialogue was, at times, absolutely first rate. (As were the performances, with a few of the side characters nearly stealing the show.)
My greatest disappointment: although she is still some million billion times more attractive than us mortal human women, Grace Kelly didn't actually look all that great in this. Her clothes were acceptable, as opposed to the to-die-for ensembles she sported in Rear Window. Some of her dresses were all right, but there wasn't anything that really amazed on her. She's beautiful and skinny and has the poise of a goddess. Rags would look good on her. I wanted couture on her. I got acceptable to flashy-but-ultimately-empty. Shame.
