Wanna ask BossRadio if I can do it as a work project?

OH! NOTORIOUS! That was a dumb miss on my part.

I don't know who the one on the right is, the one on the left looked like Marcello Mastrionni, but I am sure I am wrong. I need to rewatch it, but at work, of course, I can't.

I looked for Scorsese in the movie, but I didn't see him.

Homage aside, I'm guessing it was a calculated choice to use a Bergmanesque female rather than the icier blondes of the later films. If you're selling champagne, you probably don't want to pimp it with woman that are colder than your product.

I loved that Marty wouldn't touch the sheet protected pages with sanitary gloves on, because they were just so HOLY. And, hahaha, a missing page that allowed them to just cut to the end!

Brilliant.

He should stop making films already and become a hysterical pitchman!

But, the actress used was pretty much a dead ringer for Eva Marie Saint (down to the necklace and gown) from NxNW

Yeah, because although they were seated in the Albert Hall in London for a concert conducted by Bernard Herrman, her bit of business was in the audience of the auction in Chicago from a different film.

OMG, Hitch references galore and all mashed up!!

Snowflake · 11-29-2007, 02:02 PM

Now I want to sit down and watch Hitch films non-stop until I see each one, in turn.

If only there were a reference from Family Plot!

I loved him in the Amex commercials!

Here's one.

A more recent one.

See, and I thought the fall was from Saboteur.

The pull-back from the stage... Young and Innocent, maybe?

I'm pretty sure I saw Marty stand up in the crowd...

A lot of people fall in Hitch movies, huh?
