sixcyl ◊ 2005-11-30 13:28	I have I replaced the black & white picture showing Grace Kelly and Gary Grant behind the wind-screen of the Sunbeam ...I hope the prevoius (? unknown) editor of this single picture won't want to kill me for such audacity?!... We swap the pretty face of Grace for an imposing landscape, and the nice sheen of the Sunbeam body...not too bad?... If you miss Grace's face, I suggest you to have a look at the film ...which is a good Hitchcock, even if it is not my favourite.. There are nice pictures of french cars of the 50's, and of this splendid Sunbeam.. For the main picture ,I've hesitated with that one too: It is a MkII or a MkIII Here some others, there is carchase (YEEES!... )between the Alpine and a Citroen 11 with policemen inside... the "poulets" which is a well known nickname for policemen in France have to stop the chase because of a chicken (= "poulet" in french ) crossing the road :lol:, in the following picture, we see the cop ("flic" in french...another nickname )explain to his boss on car-telephone what happens to them !!!... we can hear in the Original Audio language saying and repeating to his boss: "...poulet!...à cause d'un poulet!!!...." ...humour of Hitchcock , funny .. ... Here some other pics of this blue Sunbeam leaving the Carlton Hotel in Nice, for picnic ... -- Last edit: 2006-12-02 22:02:14 (antp)

LVCDC ◊ 2018-02-19 15:04	Mein Gott ! A movie analysed by Sixcyl without mentionning aircraft ? So it was a long, long time ago ! Now, the page is online. Please note that IMCDB could be completed with a green Vespa (*). And what is this car (seen from above just before the 'Cat' catches the thief) : not the Delahaye (top isn't white). So what ? -- Last edit: 2018-02-19 15:06:13

johnfromstaffs ◊ 2021-12-25 09:54	The BBC did a Hitchcock season last night, “To catch a thief” followed by “North by Northwest”, as a diversion to quality in opposition to its normal diet of least common denominator garbage. Aside from the attractions of the two leading ladies, since I have always been a pushover for blondes, (47 Years married to Rosemary) I remain in thrall to the excellence of Cary Grant, well into his 50s in these films, yet still displaying the shape and style of a man in his early 30s. -- Last edit: 2021-12-25 17:22:39

Hitchcock is my favorite director, thanks to him when I was little I started to like classic cinema, especially suspense ... I remember being about 8 years old and seeing the amusement park scene from "Strangers on a train" ... Despite the fact that The film at that time was already more than 50 years old, I had to quickly change the channel due to the tension of knowing that at some point they were going to kill the girl with the glasses ...
