I threw this away today in my frenzy of cleaning. It’s a bag from the gift shop at the Tower of London that I have been holding on to for four years. Strange the things we feel compelled to keep as memories. But it was time for it to go as it was quickly disintegrating […]
4 Comments »Saturday: Suspicion Shadows, shadows everywhere. Hitchcock had a field day with the black and white and the lighting possibilities. Cary Grant was suitably suave yet mildly menacing, while Joan Fontaine was wonderful as the increasingly suspicious wife. The tone of the film was what really struck me here a clever mix of comic (through Grant’s […]
