Hello dear readers! Happy weekend to all of you! These past few days I have become so interested in reading thriller/mystery novels, starting with Agatha Christie, and now I just seem to remember Alfred Hitchcock. I think I used to watch his series when I was still a kid. Reading and watching mystery novels, movies and series just pumps up my monotonous life.
This week, I saw a classic movie remake of Hitchcock's, "Dial M for Murder." It is not the 1945 movie. It is about a scorned husband's diabolical plot to get rid of his unfaithful wife. I am not pleased with the ending, because I suddenly had sympathy for the husband. I have yet to see the 1945 version. The movie that I have seen is the 1981 remake, starring the late Christopher Plummer, and Angie Dickinson.
Then after that movie, I have watched Strangers on a Train. This movie is about a popular tennis player crossing paths with a psycho stranger, suggesting how to get rid of someone they don't want in their life. I enjoyed watching this movie, same with Spellbound, which stars Ingrid Bergman. I came to know and like Ingrid Bergman when I first saw the movie Anastasia. This was also a good movie, it deals with psychoanalysis as explained in the first part of the movie. You should also see the very artistic dream sequence part in this movie. This is about a female doctor, named Constance who falls in love with a young doctor, who is not what he seems to be, turns out to be an impostor.
The last movie for this weekend that I have seen, and truly recommend is the, "The Lady Vanishes," I really enjoyed this movie, and I have liked the character of the little old Englishwoman, played by the late Dame May Whitty. There has been several remakes of this movie, but I was not that impressed. Of course, nothing beats the original one. This movie, is about a young English lady travelling on a traim, and then she lost her old lady companion. None of the passengers on the train admits seeing that English lady named Ms. Froy. I really loved this movie. Now, I realized modern movies uses the same plot. If you haven't seen these movies, I suggest you should. I guess I am an old soul, I appreciate classic movies and music. I love classic movies!
