We had a wonderful evening watching Hitchcock's film 'North by Northwest' at the Fox Theater Friday night. When Hitchcock made his notorious cameo right in the beginning of the film, the audience acknowledged it with a round of applause.
I had never seen this film, and was really intrigued by the very progressive attitude of the female lead. Her role in the film and actions seemed quite forward for the time period. I also swooned over Cary Grant and appreciated his wit and snappy comebacks for every situation. There is only one person that I have met in real life that is that quick with a quip and he was with us that evening. Nod to the brilliance of a quick wit here.
The symbolism in this film was also fantastic. I know what a train going into a tunnel means and I giggled when I saw it. Current films don't use innuendo and mystery to this degree. I for one, like to use my imagination as I am so rarely asked to do so. Bravissimo.

| It's strange to walk out of an old movie and see and old car, but there it was, right on cue. |
Note to self: we need to move 'See Mt. Rushmore' higher up on the bucket list.
So many things to do.......
Cheers!
