I was waxing on about a film recommended by Michigan J, that you enjoyed as well Miss G.: "MAN BAIT." It made me peruse YouTube for more clips of Diana Dors, who has a big role in that film. And to be sure I don't go off-topic, I found this episode of "The Alfred Hitchcock" show which prominently features Ms. Dors. (Aaaaah...two birds with one stone).
Enjoy. Well...enjoy as much as one can enjoy the macabre sense of humor of Sir Alfred. Here is.......

Thank you, T! I don't recognize the title so maybe this is one I haven't seen yet.

Re: ALFRED HITCHCOCK
I hope you haven't. It won't be hard to figure out...but I so love Hitchcock. Better than any reality tv, any day. Enjoy!
Oh, and by the way...I love your new avatar. You're always classy.

Re: ALFRED HITCHCOCK
If you want to see the restored version of Hitchcock's fourth film, the silent boxing drama The Ring (1927), there will be a live streaming at http://thespace.org/items/e0000ecg this Saturday, July 14, 2012. The catch for those living Stateside is the timing: it airs at 20:00 GMT on Friday, July 13th, that means it's actually airing at 6:00am EST/3:00am PT on Saturday over here.
I've only seen the un-restored version of this movie, which is based on Hitchcock's own original screenplay (his only one) and while I doubt I'll be awake to see it this time, I hope it will get released on DVD eventually.

Re: ALFRED HITCHCOCK
Went to a big screen showing of "North By Northwest." Hitchcock still seems quite popular. For a Wednesday night there was a pretty good crowd. I figure between 80-100 people were there. They all laughed in the right spots. There were no groans or sighs of disbelief so it must have been a loyal group.
There were about 8 films in the series. I'm hoping it has proved popular enough that we'll get more next year.
On a related note someone told me that if you can guarantee a certain number of attendees can try and arrange a showing of a film for you. Hadn't heard about it to know. Any idea if it's true anywhere else?

Re: ALFRED HITCHCOCK
Wow, that was great, Maven!
One thing I did get from this mashup is the sense of movement that Hitch has. My god the camera is always moving, and when there are moments of stillness (Cary in the middle of the dirt road in NbyNW, Anthony Perkins in the padded cell in Psycho), it's only the calm before the storm. Perkins eyes just POP out at you when they do move to look straight at the audience. I am now wondering if the camera in Vertigo always moves to the right, in a never ending spiral? I suddenly realized watching this video that the camera moves continually to the right, around Kim Novak or Kim and Jimmy, or around Cary in NbyNW. In Vertigo, it gives the impression of peering around a corner, discovering something just outside the frame at every turn.
