A good day, but busy working

My favourite Hitchcock is "Shadow of a Doubt" (1943) which starred Joseph Cotten and Teresa Wright. Both Hitchcock and Teresa Wright considered it to be their favourite film. Teresa Wright was naturally attractive and likeable, she didn't make a large number of films but was always true to herself.
(oh, and not a Hitchcock blonde )

I watched this today...who needs enemies when you have uncles like that

They sure fell in love quickly back then

You may be interested in the book "Hitchcock! by Francois Truffaut (the French film director). Back in the 1960s Truffaut had a series of interviews with Hitchcock about his films and life which he put into book form. One of the best books about a director's work and is fascinating.

Truffaut may be known for his role in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" but he was one of the major film directors in French cinema. Before he became a film director he was a major film critic and so Hitchcock was willing to be interviewed by him.

A Youtube clip which claims to show every cameo appearance by Alfred Hitchcock in his films:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YbaOkiMiRQ
Note that the second clip from "The Lodger" is disputed.
Also it's not complete as it omits his appearance in his 1932 film "Number Seventeen". Apparently he's one of the passengers in the bus at just after 51 minutes 25 seconds , possibly the one by the window on the left:

Last weekend's episode of Pointless Celebrities ended with a question on black and white things. One of the three options was to name a black and white film directed by Alfred Hitchcock,
https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000wphh/
There were lots of pointless answers. I came up with three of them, "Number Seventeen" as above and two others which are the first two full length films he made:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0.../?ref_=nm_flmg_dr_69
and https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0.../?ref_=nm_flmg_dr_68  - that one is a film which has been lost.

Afternoon Slim and El How are you both doing today ? A bit overcast here , but still warm…..and, according to the forecast , it’s going to get really warm again towards the end of the week .

I used to love the heat when I was younger El…..sadly no longer . About 22/23 is about the optimum level for me ….and no humidity

By the way, better to have cotton bedsheets rather than polyester ones in hot weather, though you probably know that already
