I'd agree with yo...Julien - Thanks for reading. I'd agree with you, Lifeboat is one of Hitchcock's best. And ditto the love for Frenzy. (Still not seen Shadow of a Doubt.) I did write a mini bit on Lifeboat for my paused-for-now series of posts, Tuesday Title, here: <br /><br />http://darkeyesocket.blogspot.com/2010/07/tuesday-title-lifeboat.html<br /><br />Loved the sometimes comical, sometimes desolate banter and struggle between the characters - something which I'm sure Hitchcock spent time winding up for maximum effect. I think Tallulah Bankhead gives one of the finest female performances ever in it. Superb.<br /><br />LordBronco - Oh yes, The Car. Or Auto-Jaws? Motor-Omen? It's so well made, esp. the first half. It's got a very disconcerting mood to it and should be celebrated more. Maybe it'll have its "day of cult appeal" soon.<br /><br />Jose - The surreal touches in Johnny Guitar are splendid. They make it stand out, don't they. The costumes, and what they indicate for McCambridge and Crawford, were esp. good... Yes, it's odd that it took me so long to get around to Night of the Demon. I had seen bits, but not all of it. It was fairly recent actually. They were many horrors that made me fall for the movies, which I saw as a kid, and still plenty more to see, too. Glad I got to see it now though.

So I endorse any list containing it.<br /><br />I'm slightly shocked you just saw Night of the Demon, judging from your taste, it feels like something one would think made you fall in love with movies as a child.Notas Sobre Creación Cultural e Imaginarios Socialeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01423835555933819338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492693833498714269.post-80232377155163567212011-01-02T23:27:28.488+00:002011-01-02T23:27:28.488+00:00The Car.

Baffling how re...Lifeboat, yes yes and thrice yes. Baffling how reams are written on more prosaic Hitch films like North By Northwest and Psycho (not that these don't deserve attention) and next to nothing about Lifeboat, a classic 'in camera' drama which is ingeniously directed and politically very risque. Along with Frenzy and Shadow of a Doubt, one of Hitch's best, for me.Julien Allenhttp://www.orsonwelles.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
