Jennythenipper Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 They've shown it twice in the last couple of months. It is part of Essentials Jr., so they may yet show it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Film_Fatale Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I think it shows fairly regularly. I'd recommend you watch the original as well, if you haven't already. Some Hitchcock fans like his first version better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RainingViolets101 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 And Doris Day went through the whole film with that impecable grey suit, which had an uncanny resemblence to Madeleine Elsters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visualfeast Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I think Ransohoff's still has a few of those suits way in the back of the back room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue19 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I can't believe you guys! For years I've been saying the same thing about that grey suit that Doris and Kim wear in these 2 films! Ask my kids--oh right you can't- you'll have to take my word for it-you think Hitchcock was trying to save some money using the same wardrobe? that's why I'm really enjoying this site- all these great minds thinking alike!!

CineMaven Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Well...that might be the same grey suit, and I'm head over heels about Doris Day. But, Kim wears that damned suit so much better. ;-) (She was only 25 during that film). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainingViolets101 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 It's just that Hitch had an ideal woman, she is ice-cool blonde, very slim, likes to wear suits, and very high heels, she sometimes wears glasses - from Madeleine Carroll through Eva Marie Saint all (except 'Tippy' Hedren's green suit in The Birds) have been the same style grey suit..the brunette exceptions (Teresa Wright, Ruth Roman) went suit free...

CineMaven Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 D'ya think Alma recognized Hitch's obsession with tall slim ice-cool blondes? They none of them looked like her. Tsk! Tsk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CineSage_jr Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Alma wasn't stupid; she should've coshed Hitch over the head with a leg of lamb, or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been ages since I read a Hitchcock bio but I seem to remember something along the lines of Hitch being too insecure about his own looks to ever think he could get the kind of "ice-cool blonde" that he apparently drooled over. Alma was very much the kind of woman he apparently needed, regardless of what he thought he would have liked to get, imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did sign Suzanne Pleshette to a contract, after working with her on *The Birds*. However, she made him stipulate that she would only have to honor it, if she were offered the female lead. When he offered her the role of Lil Mainwaring, in *Marnie* (ultimately played by Diane Baker), she replied, "If my character's name isn't Marnie, I'm not doing it!" She never did work for him again, but they remained very close friends until his death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
