  • One of the best @Creasy47 and as you said, very Hitchcock. It's a tough call for me between this, North By Northwest and To Catch A Thief. Grant is near perfect in all three.
  • This may be an off beat choice, particularly as I have expressed my preference for non-American girls in Bond films. However, I saw her last night in Bad Times at the El Royale and was suitably impressed. I had pretty much ignored her in the past du…
  • He shows a darker side in both Woman of Straw and Marnie. I love both those films.
