I’ve always been fond of To Catch a Thief. Not, perhaps, one of his most weighty efforts, but it is a charmingly unreal slice of High Life. Plus it has Grace Kelly urging Cary Grant to fondle her “diamonds”, If You Know What I Mean:
“Look, John. Hold them. Diamonds… The only thing in the world you can’t resist. Then tell me you don’t know what I’m talking about.”
I’ll join the chorus on To Catch A Thief. Fun film. Who was the actress who played the young European woman?
While I’m posting, I’ll finish the exchange I posted above:
*“You know as well as I do that those gems are imitation.”
“Well, I’m not”*
Rowr!
My husband and I just saw *Rope *for the first time about a month ago. We loved it! *Rear Window *is my other favorite.
I was iffy about Vertigo when I saw it for the first time, until
“I need you to be Madeleine for a while. And when it’s done, we’ll both be free.”
That’s scary.
Those are my faves too. I actually wrote a paper about Rope and the other two films inspired by the Leopold and Loeb case: Compulsion and Swoon.
