Thanks for that Joel, prefer the sound of the first one - I don't like salt without the popcorn!

Hey Juliette!

I've lately been enjoying Patrick McGilligan's "Alfred Hitchcock: A Life in darkness and in Light," which doesn't break much new ground but does sum up a lot of scholarship over the last 30 years. Donald Spoto's "Dark Side of Genius" has some basically good insights, but I hate the judgmental attitude he takes toward Hitch. The guy has an axe to grind. Read it, but do so with dish filled with large grains of salt.

So do I - it's more neurotic with that squeaky voice when she has nightmares, almost possessed. Hitchcock's women are most interesting characters (I didn't know about his attraction (to put it mildly) to them. Seeing the movies all in a different light now, thanks to your reviews! Can you recommend really good Hitchcock bio for me?

MARNIE is one of my faves as well. In fact, I prefer Tippi's performance in that one over THE BIRDS.

With Helen Mirren it should be great, two of my fav actors in one movie. My fav Hitchcock has to be Marnie - I've seen it at least 6 times. Nice blog will enjoy reading more, thanks.

I'm a great Hitchcock fan and can't wait to see the movie that Anthony Hopkins is making where he plays Hitchcock. Great review thanks.

"Well, that’s all nice theory. But here’s the real test: who doesn’t look at The Scream and immediately “get” what it’s about?"

Joel, to be quite honest with you, I cannot think of one person who has observed Munch's The Scream and Hitch's The Bird and does not get it...
I must admit that I’ am little bit under the "weather," but I had to read your post (food for thought…I’ am so sorry for using the cliché..) and response.

Thanks, for sharing!

Hi! Joel,

Joel said, "The Scream, by Edvard Munch, 1893. Wow, this painting really goes well with the new color scheme on my blog, which was in turn inspired by Saul Bass' movie posters..."

I have to second that notion..your colours scheme and the colours in Edvard Munch the Scream are pretty close in colour.

..."I wonder if Bass had The Scream in mind when he created the posters for Vertigo, Anatomy of a Murder or West Side Story?"

Joel, I don't know the answer to this question even though I was checking out his (Bass) website that you linked a few minutes ago.
