Trying to recover from the latest, uh, problems, we checked out North x =
Northwest and Vertigo from the local shop and watched both last night. =
Then we watched the world's best, and possibly only, pooka movie, again =
with Jimmy Stewart. =20
This is probably an old, old thread but I do believe that, for all kinds =
of reasons, Vertigo was Hitchcock's best. Shooting in SF, Marin and San =
Juan Batista, of course, contributed a lot. Recognize soooo many =
places. (Oh, boo hoo, the homesickness done got me again, sniff, =
dribble). Originally Vera Miles was to play the Kim Novak role, =
happily she became pregnant before it was to be shot and the part went =
to Novak. Whew! Close call. Miles was, perhaps, prettier in a =
Kathrine Hepburn sort of way, but Novak was much the better fit for the =
part. =20
And again, Barnard Hermann's wonderful and melancholy music, superbly =
re-inforced the mood and the slow change in Stewart's personality shift. =
A truly classic film.
That's all for now from the old Film Meister in the Old Dominetrix.
