I still think, fabulous commercial and fabulous take on Hitch. References I caught were, North by Northwest, The Man Who Knew Too Much, The Birds and Rear Window. Loved the small details, the hankie, exact duplication of Eve Kendall's gown. It may be arcane for people not familiar with Hitch or the wine, so iSm, you are right, as a commercial this can fail on many levels. But, I got the joke and it made me want to but the wine. I also loved the reference during the final shot with Scorsese declaring "We can do Greed, we have the stills."** **famous silent film by Erich von Stroheim, meant to be ten hours by von Stroheim, ruthlessly cut by MGM to 2 hours. It's a grim film, but the full version has long been the holy grail amongst film geeks. Negative elements are gone, the film was reconstructed with stills and it's agonizing in the grimness and agonizing in the sheer detail von Stroheim shot. Too much, way too much.[/size]

The flash going off was a Rear Window moment.

The stabbing is Dial M for Murder. The strangulation is familiar but I'm not placing it. The cheers/kiss is To Catch a Thief? (No fireworks). |

I was surprised nothing from Vertigo, nothing that I caught.
