Not my favourite driver but may give it a watch. Is it a film or documentary?![schumacher]()
Saw 13 Ghosts (1960 version) on television last night. I never saw it before and it was pretty good. It was shown in Black & White so I could not experience the William Castle gimmick of Illusion-O, still entertaining.

Just watched one of my favorites : Rear Window. Love Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly is woman perfection. Great movie.
Great film!
Are you a Hitchcock fan in general?
If so have you ever seen The Trouble With Harry?
Congrats to Emma Stone!
I saw this movie for the first time in my life two months ago (I forgot to post it here) and I liked the movie very much. Especially… Grace Kelly. I had never seen a movie with her, and I was absolutely obliterated by her charm and beauty. Jimmy Stewart does also a good job.
IfI recall correctly, it was one of the first movies filmed in Panavision? And Technicolor of course.
However, even though the first 2/3 of the movie are pretty engaging with the thriller building up, I found the resolution of the film a bit rushed and not very satisfying. I mean, is there finally a murder or not? I was all the film thinking it was just his imagination, but apparently it wasn’t? And it’s all explained in one sentence with the Police when he’s fallen from the window? Yeah, I know someone (the alleged murderer) went to his apartment, but unarmed, and understandably upset because someone is spying on him and accusing him of murder
As I said, a bit rushed and confusing towards the end, but a great classic nonetheless.
BTW: I think my favorite film from Hitchcock is North by Northwest, and because it’s been long ago that I saw it (years ago) I think I should re-watch it.

North by Northwest is tied with TTWH at #1 for me.
But honestly, I really like most of, if not all of, Hitchcock's films.
Then, I’ll have to watch TTWH, because I haven’t yet.
I guess you mean they are tied quality-wise, and not plot-wise or in other ways.
I have not seen The Trouble With Harry and yes, I am a Hitchcock fan. I will certainly make an effort to watch that film.
As for the the other post about the ending being rushed...Grace Kelly goes into Lars' (Raymond Burr) apartment and finds his wife's wedding ring. She is arrested but shows Jimmy Stewart that she has the ring and Burr sees her showing him. Stewart is able to call his friend in the PD to get Grace out of jail and told him he had proof of the murder before Burr comes into Jimmy's apt. and attacks him and the PD arrives in time. It was a bit rushed because then Burr gives a full confession that answers all the questions the viewers might have, which was a little hinky.

Just wanted to say I am absolutely thrilled Emma won the Oscar, stunning performance. She seemed genuinely shocked she won which was nice to see.
Get Emma and Lilly in a film together!

Hi. I’m the one who wrote the other post. Thanks for the explanation! I guess I overlooked the part where police says he actually confessed. Or is Grace Kelly who says that at the end? Doesn’t matter.
I want to watch TTWH as well. We’ll see who does it before!
If you haven’t already seen it you should go watch Charade (1963) with Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn. It is often referred to the best Hitchcock film, that actually is NOT a Hitchcock film
I’m one of the few people I know actively using OTA to watch tv. Here in Detroit area there’s a few movie channels that I’ll surf on to see what’s playing.
