Coby + Hitchcock --- Round 1!
I like Rear Window, Vertigo will get a lot of support, but shouldn't miss earlier Strangers on a Train for one of the best movie villains ever or Rope, for its innovative production and suspense.
@@flarrfan Can't wait for the Rear Window reaction. It's my favorite Hitchcock film, though they're all worth watching. He wasn't known as the Master of Suspense for nothing.
Few will agree but most haven't seen them all:
Hitchcock's best movie is a silent film called: "The Lodger"
Hitchcock's best b&w talkie is: "Number 17"
Hitchcock's best color film is: "Rope"
DO NOT WATCH THESE FIRST
@@ZeroOskul Ive seen them. All three are good but I wouldn't call them the best. Here's one that few will agree on...I dont love Rear Window as much as most. I know many of todays current films, like Disturbia, Woman in the Window, and many others, have copied it. But it's one I revisit the least.
There were two movies made about Hitchcock. THE GIRL features Toby Jones as Hitch and concentrates on his obsession with Tippi Hedren. Shades of VERTIGO! And there's the award-winning HITCHCOCK with Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren about the making of PSYCHO. Scarlet Johansson plays Janet Leigh and the score is by Danny Elfman. Worth seeing, for 2 different takes on the man.
This is my 8 year old son favourite Hitchcock film he even wrote to Eva Marie saint and got an autograph photo
I'm so glad you're exposing your kid is such a great Cinema. Today's movies are great but the oldies need consideration.
@@herbertkeithmiller if you want your kid to appreciate old movies you need to expose them to these films before they can even talk
Fun and entertaining reactions from Coby, to this superb Hitchcock thriller.
I especially loved that Coby spotted the equally superb actor Martin Landau, in one of his great film roles as Leonard.
Martin Landau and his real life wife Barbara Bain starred together in the original Mission Impossible tv show and then briefly moved to England to star in the excellent sci-fi tv show Space 1999.
Rear Window & Dial M for Murder are 2 must watch Hitchcock Movies
Those two, this one and The Trouble with Harry are on my yearly movie watch list.
Dial M for Murder is vastly underappreciated. It's a thinking person's movie, with a lot of twists and turns. In my top 5 of Alfred Hitchcock movies.
hitchcock made many wonderful films. he's called "the master of suspense." and his skill is amply displayed in films no reactors react to. like 1) "suspicion" (1941) also starring cary grant,
2) "the man who knew too much" (1956) starring jimmy stewart (he made 4 films with hitchcock) and is the only hitchcock remake,
3) "strangers on a train" (1951),
4) "rebecca" (1940) the only hitchcock film to win the best picture oscar but hitchcock, himself, lost the director oscar (hitchcock NEVER won an oscar),
5) "the wrong man" (1956) the only hitchcock film to star henry fonda,
6) "shadow of a doubt" (1943),
7) "spellbound" (1945) with a dream sequence designed by salvador dali
8) and you can go way back to 1938 with his excellent "the lady vanishes" hitchcock's last british film. and this is just a partial list of hitchcock's finest. so many great hitchcock films - so little time.
The man who knew to much.
I cannot believe she recognized Martin Landau, that was priceless, that's got to be the only reactor to ever notice that.....or even know he is! GREAT to see Cobi back, she is a truly fantastic reactor. Those Scorsese reactions were uniformly outstanding; I'm five minutes into this one and I'm already commenting. (All the reactors on your channels are terrific, don't get me wrong, ; but when a reactor exclaims in glee "Omg, that's Martin Landau!", that doesn't happen everyday! (....and now she just recognized the guy from "Get Smart"! Jeez! This isn't even one of my favorite Hitchcock movies at all, I skip most reactions to it; happy I didn't this time! Very satisfied subscriber!!!!
great reaction! That last shot, sometimes a train going into a tunnel is just a train going into a tunnel 🙂 ...but probably not this time.
Three from the black and white era:
The Lady Vanishes
The 39 Steps
Spellbound
True...those 3 plus a few others from the B/W era (e.g., Notorious, Sabotage, and Saboteur).
The train at the end went into a tunnel, after they were married. Hitchcock did that on purpose! I'm really excited to see some more Hitchcock with you! You are on his wavelength!
I overedited. Oops...
Good on you Coby! "OMG! That's Martin Landau!"
Great reaction to a classic movie. "Martin Landau!" I'm always surprised and pleased when a young reactor recognizes and old actor who I wouldn't think they would know. Now I'm curious what you've seen him in. Thornhill's lawyer was played by Edward Platt. He also played the Chief on the TV show Get Smart. I was going to point out Hitchcock's cameo, but you beat me to it. He makes an appearance in most of his movies. Eva Marie Saint was 35 when this movie was released.
To Catch a Thief (1955) and The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956) are good Hitchcock films to check out
Other great Cary Grant films are Arsenic and Old Lace (1944) and Bringing up Baby (1938), the precursor to all modern romcoms.
As a 70s Kid Martin Landau will always be Commander Koenig, "Space 1999". I'm sure if you were a 60s Kid He would be the master of disguise form "Mission Impossible". Big career.
I’m amazed! This was the first reaction I’ve seen where Martin Landau was recognized. 😂 That got my Sub.
And she spotted Hitch! 😮
@@reesebn38 Great in both roles. 👍🏼
The same year, Ed Platt and Ned Glass (the ticket booth guy) were together (really together, partners in the plot, not just two actors in the same film) in The Rebel Set, an MST3k fave! It's like Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern, minor actors in one film become stars in another (altho lesser) film.
There was something about Grant. Whether it was a comedy or a thriller, he is impossible not to watch when he’s on screen.
I think the last time I saw this film was very late 70’s/very early 80’s. Your reactions are a joy to watch. Your interaction with the 4th wall and your out loud thoughts and opinions are perfect. Thank you for choosing the Alfred Hitchcock films to check out. He was a great director.
Here’s to the one. 🍷
Wow, thank you! Try to shine a light on these great films
The progenitor of all James Bond films. Great movie, great reaction.
At the time of filming, the idea that Cary Grant (really originally Archibald Leach from England - they just released a biopic), the most easily recognized person in the States, could simply go unnoticed anywhere using just sunglasses was hilarious. Hitchcock had as a method the idea of shooting murder scenes as if they were love-making and love scenes as violent struggles. "Shall I murder you?" "Please do." He had a liking for my country, Finland, where he was very much appreciated, and planned to shoot his final film, also an agent film, here in the capital, Helsinki, the main market square and the islands (of which he would have had 180 000 to choose from). But after The Family Plot (wordplay with 'plot' meaning both a burial place and movie plot) he had had it with filming all his life and didn't even watch them that much anymore.
Eva Marie Saint also acted in the Superman Returns movie. She played Martha Kent.
"Do the pencil!!"
Dysfunctional mother-son relationships are a common theme in Hitchcock movies. Another good example is "The Birds". And, of course, "Psycho" which is probably the penultimate.
Honestly, your commentary helped me understand what was going on so much, that you reminded me of a former babysitter if I'd been watching this at 7 years of age!
❤❤❤ This is my favorite Hitchcock. Cary and Hitch three more times. Jimmy Stewart has a triple play as well. My next favorite Hitch movie is FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT. A pre WWII thing. Great job, youngling!
His lawyer at the start is Edward Platt, you might be recognising him from the TV Show Get Smart, he was Chief, I picked the voice right away.
Fun bit of trivia: at 36:33, note the kid in blue-green behind Kendal putting his fingers in his ears in anticipation of the gunfire.
Watching my favorite Hitchcock movie with you was quite enjoyable.
The CIA professor (Leo Carroll) was Marley’s ghost in A Christmas Carol.
He also starred in the 50’s sitcom “Topper”.
I always assumed the crop duster lost control while flying too close to the ground, and the pilot wasn't a kamikaze.
Definitely not.. the plane was making another pass ,and didn't expect the truck..
It's hard for a modern audience to figure out why the two goons mistake Thornhill (Cary Grant) for Kaplan.
The two goons know that Kaplan is at the hotel and are trying to find him, so they ask a page to ask for him (the young man calling out "Mr. Kaplan"). At the same time Thornhill realizes he has given his secretary the wrong number to contact his mother so he asks for the page, because the page will bring him to (or direct him to) a phone. So as the page is calling out for Kaplan, Thornhill calls out for the page, convincing the two goons that this must be Kaplan.
People are still not paged in hotels and airports today? I think modern audiences are just not paying attention.
@@flaggerifyNo, people are not paged like that today because everyone is reachable by phone.
Treat yourself Coby, and watch "On The Waterfront" 1954, Elia Kazan, with Marlon Brando and Eva Marie Saint, along with a great supporting cast: Karl Malden, Rod Steiger, Lee J Cobb, et al. One of the best films ever made. EMS and Brando both win Oscars, and I promise you, you will be enthralled. Another great Leonard Bernstein score (a frequent Hitchcock collaborator) to boot.
its showing on the big screen this week ~ great review !
ooh didn't realize that !
@@criminalcontent Just got back for the show ! its was my wife's first time and she loved it ! its was so much fun on the BIG SCREEN! the top of mount Rushmore was awesome , again thanks for watching the master in action , Hitchcock at his best !
@@remccom we saw the sunday one, they really made it look like crisp, like it was filmed yesterday , it was amazing
I thought you might like to know Cary Grant was offered the role of Bond James Bond
Perfect.
Thanks !
Miss Kendall was played by Eva Marie Saint. The only other role of hers i an familiar with is the great, "On The Waterfront."
Older women in Hitchcock films were usually, what one critic called, “monster”. That is a bit of an exaggeration but they are usually problematic, argumentative, a bit feather brained, etc, This is certainly a clue to Hitchcock’s attitudes to mother/matronly characters.
hitchcock made many wonderful films. he's called "the master of suspense." and his skill is amply displayed in films no reactors react to. like 1) "suspicion" (1941) also starring cary grant,
2) "the man who knew too much" (1956) starring jimmy stewart (he made 4 films with hitchcock) and is the only hitchcock remake,
3) "strangers on a train" (1951),
4) "rebecca" (1940) the only hitchcock film to win the best picture oscar but hitchcock, himself, lost the director oscar (hitchcock NEVER won an oscar),
5) "the wrong man" (1956) the only hitchcock film to star henry fonda,
6) "shadow of a doubt" (1943),
7) "spellbound" (1945) with a dream sequence designed by salvador dali
8) and you can go way back to 1938 with his excellent "the lady vanishes" hitchcock's last british film. and this is just a partial list of hitchcock's finest. so many great hitchcock films - so little time.
If you like the story of an innocent man mistaken for a criminal or spy who then collaborates with a good-looking blonde to figure out what’s going on, keep going with Hitchcock. Some of his best films use that premise.
You're right, Eve Marie Saint was 35 when this film was released.
Technically she was 34 years old when the film was released on 1st July 1959 - her birthday is 4th July.
@@hadz8671 Technically she was within three days of starting her 36th year on July 1 1959.
Eva Marie Saint is still with us. She's going to be 100 this year.
So many people miss the part where Roger Thornhill, in the bar, is mistaken for Kaplan by the two bad guys.
Eva Marie Saint is so good in this. And looks like she was still working up to 2021 doing voice acting. Last thing I remember seeing her in was Superman Returns as Martha Kent.
Always liked her in “On the Waterfront” with Marlon Brando. She won for best supporting actor.
'She's a Buick' (Eva Marie Saint) Not many will know the reference for that statement. 🤔
@@nightwood3738 And her off-the-cuff comment before her acceptance speech is my all-time favorite! (Look it up!)
Coby if you like the film today . Imagine how much you would have enjoyed it when it was released 😊
“Pay the $2” was a saying of the times, meaning “Just give up”. The actual fine would have been much more.
Pay the Two Dollars is a vaudeville sketch in which a man is subject to increasingly draconian and unnecessary legal jeopardy because of his lawyer's unwillingness to pay a two-dollar fine.
'Pay the $2' actually came from an ancient vaudeville routine that would have been familiar to audiences at the time. A man drops a piece of paper on the sidewalk and refuses to pick it up and gets a summons. His wife says 'Pay the $2', the fine for littering. He refuses. He's going to fight it in court. He goes to court and insults the judge and ends up in jail, gets in a fight with another inmate--inevitably, he ends up on death row, awaiting execution. Every step of the way, his wife keeps telling him, "Just pay the $2." So that's where it came from.
what the saying "just pay the 2 dollars" means is its cheaper and easier to just pay a small fine than fighting an injustice. lawyers are expensive and legal proceedings are long and expensive. just pay the fine and forget it. personally i both agree and disagree with this saying. it depends on many factors.
If you liked this one you should check out "Charade" with Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn. The whole film is full of wonderful witty dialoge like the scene in this film with Grant and Eva Marie Saint on the train.
Also known as: the best Hitchcock movie, he did not direct!
I came here to say the same thing! Charade is a masterpiece!
Fun reaction to a very entertaining movie. As you are watching Hitchcock films you might consider watching "Charade," from 1963 I believe. Not a Hitchcock film but has been described as the best film Hitchcock never did. Stars Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn, Walter Mathau, James Coburn and George Kennedy. Suspenseful and fun.
I liked the final shot - he pulls her up into the bed and then the shot of the long train plunging headlong into the tunnel. Hitch had quite a sense of humor.
One of those times when the Hays Code worked in favor of a movie (even though Hitch trolled that system like crazy).
Not sure if you caught it at the beginning. Roger raised his hand to summon a bellhop in order to get him to send a telegram to his mother (strange a world where that was easier than trying to make a phone call in a world basically without answer machines). At the same moment, another bellhop is walking around announcing there was a phone call for the other guy. The two bad guys mistakenly thought Roger was answering the summon for Kaplan.
That actually took me years to figure out. 😄
what's an answering machine? 😐
@@Gravydog316 The original phone had three options when it rang. Someone could answer it, if someone was already on the phone, you got a busy signal, or it could just keep ringing until the caller simply gave up. An answer machine was a separate device, a tape-recorder connected to the phone. If no one answered after a few rings, the answer machine would automatically answer, give a recorded message by the owner, and then record the answer the caller gave. (It functioned like today's cell phones, but mechanically.) But these were pretty expense until the development of the transistor, and so they were limited to certain business, like say a doctor's office.
The telegraph was invented much earlier but because a lack of switching equipment, they were located in a separate office for a whole town and connected one office to another. You would go to the office and write out the message, being charged by the word. This was handed in, and then the telegrapher would send it out. At the other end, the message was decoded from the Morse code of dots and dashes, and written out. Then someone might be despatched to take the message to the desired home or later, the office would call and keep trying until the phone was answered.
If this sounds incredibly cumbersome, it was.
Next: Cary Grant + Grace Kelly in "To catch a thief"
Hell Ya!
That wasn't a Hitchcock film, it was a Stanley Donnen film.
@@JesseOaks-ef9xn Hitchcock is in fact doing a cameo in the movie. When Cary Grant evades French police in the beginning of the movie, Hitchcock is seen seated inside a bus, right next to Cary Grant!
Woops, I got confused, it was Cherade. My bad.
@@Thomgxx100
Very good movie, but not quite as good as NBN
Great reaction!! You might check out Eva Marie Saint in On the Waterfront (1954). She won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her work in that film.
She was also very good in "Exodus'!
Rear Window, Shadow of a Doubt, and Strangers on a Train, are 3 Hitchcock films not be missed!
You just named my three favorites, bar none. I want to party with you, bro! Absolutely Rear Window, Shadow of a Doubt, and Strangers on a Train. Strangers on a Train, jeez..... love that movie.
What a terrific reaction. You will love Notorious and Rear Window.
Notorious !
Yes my 2 favorites!
The mixup in his identity happened at the beginning when he raised his hand to call for a messenger-type employee to come over so he could send a telegram to his other- at the SAME time that another messenger person was walking thru the lobby calling for “George Kaplan” (in order to keep up the appearance that Kaplan was there) and the 2 thugs thought Roger must be Kaplan. Sending telegrams from hotel lobbies/bars/restaurants etc. was more common at the time (like sending a text today) and hotels had more staff that were available to do jobs like that.
And "Suspicion"!
@@MBillCylle we'll be doing that of course, trying to get 4 hitchcock reactions for end of May / June
I love Cary Grant, please react to Charade from 1963 with Audrey Hepburn or Bringing up baby from 1938. I love this amazing reactions.
The actress playing Cary Grant's mother was only about 7 years older.
Oh my Gosh, must be the youngest Mother ever. Ah just saw, it's only a Movie!
*Again, I'm not sure if it's been explained to you already, but at **2:15**, when the employee is calling for "George Kaplan", at that exact moment, "Thornhill" is snapping his fingers at the employee, to summons him, to send a telegram. So, from the baddies' POV, Thornhill is answering the employee's call for Kaplan, therefore, to them, Thornhill IS Kaplan.*
Finally, someone recognized Martin Landau! :) And you almost recognized the Chief :)
Edward Platt who was Thornhill's attorney here played The Chief in the spy spoof Get Smart starring Don Adams.
It's such a breath of fresh air to come across a reaction channel that isn't Marvel, Star Wars, Harry Potter, etc. Cary Grant's a true legend. He was mostly known for romantic, screwball comedies, but he could do it all. He made several films with Hitchcock. Hitchcock said that he was the only actor that he ever enjoyed working with.
I mean, with Hitch being a Catholic and "Archie Leach" growing up in poverty, they were both outsiders in their own ways within a British context. So it makes sense.
And the droll humor too...
Watch Grant in Hitchcock's "Notorious"-dark and brooding.
One of the most common themes in many Hitchcock films was 'the wrong man' theme. He even made a 1956 film, The Wrong Man, based on a true story. The theme of an innocent/wrongly accused man goes back to Hitchcock's own childhood when he was 5 years old after Hitch did something slightly naughty and his father decided to play a joke on him by giving him a written note and telling him to go to the police station and give the note to an officer there. The note asked the officer to place the young Hitch in a cell, tell him "this is what we do to naughty boys" and then let him out after 5 minutes. Some of 'the wrong man' theme Hitchcock films are: The Lodger (1927), The 39 Steps (1935), Suspicion (1941), I Confess (1953), Dial M for Murder (1954), To Catch a Thief (1955), Frenzy (1972).
And, just possibly, the best of them all : THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH
The other absolutely can’t miss performance of Eva Marie Saint is her breakout role in “On the Waterfront”, for which she won the Oscar. Since we lost Olivia de Havilland, she is the oldest living Oscar winner at 99. She has only done a few things in last decade, but didn’t fully retire until 2021.
Eva Marie Saint came in to North by Northwest having already won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for On the Waterfront (1954) with Marlon Brando. It was her film debut and it's one of the greatest and most influential films ever made.
You missed showing that great comedy break scene when at the hospital he climbs into a woman's room in the dark and she switches on the light and cries out "Stop!", but then when she sees him she cries out "Stop!" again, but with a whole different meaning behind it. Just that one scene that woman had but she did it brilliantly.
Eve is played by Eva Marie Saint who won an Academy Award for ON THE WATERFRONT. She also appeared in EXODUS and THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING and is still going strong in her 90s
On the Waterfront had Marlon Brando as star, one of the the best movies of the '50s.
She was really good in playing Superman's mom in Bryan Singers "Superman returns"
@@flarrfan He also won the Oscar.
Favorite line: “Then again she might NOT.” CHARADE is one of my favorite deja vu films because it features more than half a dozen echoes of this film.
"Charade" has been called the best non-Hitchcock, Hitchcock movie ever made.
NBN is better than Charade, although it is good...
@@libertyresearch-iu4fy Another of the best non-Hitchcock Hitchcock movies was "Diabolique," authored by the authors of (D'entre les morts"...the inspiration for Vertigo!).
Oh crime...then you need to watch To Catch A Thief.
Or Arsenic and Old Lace which is a black comedy starring Grant in a more comedic role. Honestly you could watch any Grant film really, they're all good, Charade with Audrey Hepburn, another good mystery thriller one.
Don’t forget, Strangers On A Train-1951 sort of has a film Noir feel with lots of symbolism in it.
So great.
And then watch Throw Momma from the Train. 😂
You'll have to watch Charade, described as the best Hitchcock film Hitchcock never made. It stars Grant and Audrey Hepburn; produced and directed by Stanley Donen. Guaranteed you'll love it.
Also remember in the 50's. Young people even kids dressed like adults so Eve seems older because of the more formal way she is dressed, People also dressed up for travel.....
Really dug your reaction. Like all great directors, Hitchcock never lost the most important element: tell a good story. His brilliance was telling a story that kept you on the edge of your seat for the entire film.
On the train, he was not hiding in the luggage compartment. That was the upper berth which was to fold down to become a bed. However, normally it was locked and required the Pullman porter to open it when he was making the room into a bedroom. Eve mentioned she got the key from the porter to open it and get him in, and get him out again.
On the other hand, every conductor checking tickets on every train would routinely check each bathroom as he went by, not so much as to catch stowaways but simply make sure he got every ticket, even from people actually just innocently using the bathroom.
Eva Marie Saint turns 100 this year
The reason Cary Grant moves so gracefully is he was an acrobat in vaudeville when he was younger. Moves like a cat (burgler).
Cary Grants attorney in the courtroom played “Chief” on the tv show Maxwell Smart. Additionally Grant was asked to play James Bond and told the film makers that he’d already did a spy movie (this one!!). Bonds role went to Connery. Cheers
Cary Grant would have been far to old to play Bond in the 1960s, but he would have been perfect as a younger man!
He also didn't want to commit to multiple Bond movies, so turned it down.
James Mason was also considered for Bond because of this film and his performance.
You just watched what many consider the first "James Bond" Film! .... And Grant was offered the Role!
Hitch always did cameos. Even in Lifeboat which was about people in a...lifeboat. How could he do a cameo in that? Im not telling. And the iconic James Mason elevates anything hes in. Theres a current dramatic mini-series about Grant (played well by Jason Isaac) currently running called Archie. ( Grants real name is Archie Leach)
Hope you understood that final shot.
Old school? Todays films look more fake than real images actually filmed and captured by
cameras rather than never filmed but created in computers instead.
James Mason in Kubrick's Lolita is incredible. There's some "criminal content" for ya!
@@TTM9691 Three generations know Mason best as the legendary Captain Nemo in the classic 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA. (Another great film that youtube streamers will never do.)
@@Joe-hh8gd He's great in that also (I believe Sammy did 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, I know I've seen a reaction for it, pretty sure it was him). He's fantastic in Julius Caeser.....best performance in that film. Now THAT'S a movie reactors won't ever do! lol. (although scratch that. I could see Dom Is Here doing it, she did a great Romeo & Juliet reaction).
@@TTM9691Mason and Brando...cant go wrong. Even later, Mason brought his talents to the superb Frankenstein The True Story. And Salems Lot. And his Dr Watson in Murder By Decree. Full disclosure: I actually don't watch many of these videos so I don't know those you reference. I actually think its a HORRIBLE way for anyone to see a movie for the first time by gabbing all through it, and usually on tiny screens. (Apparently none of them can afford a tv or decent display). For me, these videos take what is larger than life and make them smaller than life. Constant commentary aren't reactions. More like Mystery Science Theater 3K but for good movies and without the wit...even if some commentators like to laugh at their own lame remarks. I usually check out the first 5 or 10 minutes. If its constant jabbering, I fast forward to the end if there are final comments. THATS were the talking should be. Movies, as you know,, have no talking allowed...and for good reason. And its why most filmmakers find these videos disgraceful. I saw one where 2 southern women "watched" 2001...on a tablet! Kubrick is doing somersaults in his grave. Ought to be a law. As far as GENUINE reactors (who react genuinely), so far I can count them on one hand. I actually wait for the day when these various commentators offer comments on movies they watch on their own. Do they talk to themselves? Oh well, the days of cinema ( and cinema appreciation) are indeed over, as some directors rightly state. And not to denigrate anyone, this youtube trend is just more proof of that, sadly. Hey, can you imagine these kids doing Easy Rider?? They have no context and would HATE it. I can already hear them scream "Pacing! Pacing!"
Eva Marie Saint is still alive, she is 99 years old, she will turn 100 on July 4.
Thank you for noticing "Northwest" at the airport. It's the name of the airline he used. Hence the title: he traveled north by Northwest (airlines).
The movie also moves from NY to Chicago to Rapid City, SD which is also traveling in the direction North by Northwest
North by Northwest is one of my all time favorite Hitchcock movies, right up there with To Catch a Thief and Rear Window. I enjoyed watching you watch it. You have such a fast mind! I'm impressed with your mental processing speed and ability to accurately predict how the movie will unfold, especially that shading pencil trick! Well done! And yeah, Eva Marie Saint is quite something, isn't she. This was the first movie I ever saw her in and I remember being quite taken and seduced by her unique beauty and charm. I'm a major Cary Grant fan, too, so it's one of my favorite films to watch. I look forward to watching you watch Rear Window staring Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly, who is another one of my favorite classic female lead actors--my absolute favorite actually. She is so beautiful, graceful, and divine! I strongly recommend you do a reaction video watching To catch a thief, another Hitchcock film that is a suspense, action thriller, again staring Cary Grant only this time with Grace Kelly. You won't be disappointed.
For more Hitchcock, I suggest "Rear Window" and "To Catch a Thief," both with Grace Kelly.
In an interview, Hitchcock was asked a question about this movie like, "So, this was just a fun story. No symbolism or anything, right?" He answered, "That's right.....Oh, pardon me, the very last shot."
And the symbolism of the very last shot, the train going into the tunnel...?
@@SiqueScarface Right after newlyweds are preparing to go to bed.
Grants train into Eva saints tunnel ! Get it???
Duh....❤😮
@@Steve-gx9otWhooosh...!
@@SiqueScarface Don't be dense. It's phallic
I was surprised to see that reaction to Martin Landau.
This movie is the prototype/template for the early James Bond films.
New subscribe. I loved your take on it. This is one of my favorite movies! Cary Grant was talked about as the first James Bond but they decided he was too old for the part. There is a lot of art in this one, too. The United Nations wouldn’t let Hitchcock film inside so he did the interiors on set and had a painting done for the aerial shot. The house above Mt. Rushmore was done the same way. For your next selection, can I suggest Rear Window. James Stewart and Grace Kelly. Also, you could watch To Catch a Thief with Cary Grant and Grace Kelly. There are so many other great Hitchcock films! Enjoy them!
The actor you recognized (playing Cary Grant's lawyer) was the actor who played "The Chief" in the original series "Get Smart."
I was visiting my father in Chicago when I was a kid and we went to a movie rental place. I was really into James Bond movies at the time. The biplane / cornfield scene in North by Northwest was playing on the monitors and I was mesmerized.
a couple of different grant movies are “Mother Goose” and “Bringing Up Baby”. You’d get a kick out of them. Cheers
The great Eva Marie Saint born in 1924 is still with us. A living Hollywood legend.
wow she'll be 100 in july !
@@criminalcontent Yep. She was also in On The Waterfront with Brando. Legendary. If you guys like Brando react to A Streetcar Named Desire unless you've already seen it. It's a tour de force of two different schools of acting on the same screen.
Cobi guessed it! Always one step ahead of the movie, very cool. Yeah, this is not one of Hitchcock's air-tight plots, this is him having fun and making a breezy, entertaining commercial movie after the weird, heady "Vertigo". Not my fave at all, but fun. Round 2 of your Hitchcock series is a different matter; really looking forward to that one! PS: Eva Marie Saint was actually an early method actress; this is her doing a big budget Hollywood thing, with "un-method" artists such as Hitchcock, Grant and James Mason.... but she was known from the Actor's Studio crowd, heavily associated with Brando and "On The Waterfront". (Martin Landau also was from that crowd, friend of James Dean, etc). Definitely a good little actress, as Cobi pointed out!
Eva Marie Saint, a fine actor, she was fantastic with Marlon Brando in On the Waterfront.
I suggest Notorious as your next Hitchcock . It’s amazing
Cobi: When you watch many of Hitchcock films of the 1950"s and early 1960"s, the lead actresses such as Grace Kelly, Doris Day, Vera Miles, Kim Novak, Eva Marie Saint, Janet Leigh and Tippi Hedren had one common physical feature. They were all blonde and beautiful. The 1940s movies did not have the blonde requirement.
Eva Marie Saint was 35 years old in 1959
Notorious with Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman is another excellent Hitchcock film
There is no such thing as a bad Hitchcock. I must profess this, Rear Window and The Birds are very close to a tie for my favorite.
Really enjoyed your reaction. The way everything changes as the film goes on. Hitch was brilliant at delivering these things.
As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
Good reaction. For Hitchcock you might consider, "Rear Window", "To Catch a Thief" or for a really dark story, "Rope".
I recommend that you watch some Cary Grant films, from the '50s and '60s. He has unique talents. I suggest another Hitchcock, TO CATCH A THIEF, with Grace Kelly, and a Stanley Donen, CHARADE with Audrey Hepburn (many mistake this one for a Hitchcock).
Hi Coby. Loved your reaction. Eva Marie Saint plays Ms Kendall. Her other best film is probably On The Waterfront, another great film with Marlon Brando.
"Mother", actress Jessie Royce Landis, was at least a bit older than Cary Grant, but only by a mere 8 years. My personal theory is that she's Roger's stepmom, which might account for the more casual relationship--being a stepmom almost his same age.
"Pay the two dollars." is an old saying meaning simply, don't fight it. That being said, penalties for D.U.I. were much more lax then.
You know and like Martin Landau-I'm impressed.
Yes, you nailed it. A bad relationship with ones mother is a frequent theme in Hitchcock movies. So is the idea of an innocent man getting accidentally involved with dangerous people in a dangerous situation that is way over his head. Another recurring theme is Hitchcock's fear of the police (who always seem to be more of a potential threat than a help).
A lot of people are led astray about Hitchcock by starting with Psycho or The Birds. He is much more suspense than horror. And he usual injects his odd sense of humor into his films.
yes we agree !
Thornhill's lawyer later played the Chief in TV's Get Smart.
First time watching your reaction channel. You made it interesting and fun. Great insight . 👍
Thank you!
A lot of reviewers I see that watch this totally miss the beginning where the confusion begins. The bell boy was looking for Kaplan for a phone call but Carey Grant waves him down to send his own message to someone. But the goons think he is waving down the bell boy because he is Kaplan and wants the phone call. Hence the misidentification.
Hi Coby one of the most famous bloopers a kid in the cafeteria puts his fingers in his ears before the shot. Also they weren't allowed to walk on the faces of Mount Rushmore. I see behind the scenes all the time. Good Job. Oh yea'...die in 25 years' 🤣
For another excellent mystery / thriller starring Cary Grant, might I recommend the movie Charade.
At the time of this movie, Cary Grant was about 55. His "mother" Jesse Royce Landis was about 63. Eva Marie Saint whose character said she was 26 was about 35.
Like all Hitch's movies, there's deep psychology. Thornhill is mother-dominated, has a string of marriages as a result, his initials are ROT with a nothing in the middle. But he's forced to live out his 'shadow' and become who he really is, Kaplan, and win the girl. Fun but deep. Eva Marie Saint is still in action.
Interesting that you had such "low expectations" for a movie that has been considered a classic and one of the best of all time for quite some time.
