There were two movies made about Hitchcock. THE GIRL features Toby Jones as Hitch and concentrates on his obsession with Tippi Hedren. Shades of VERTIGO! And there's the award-winning HITCHCOCK with Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren about the making of PSYCHO. Scarlet Johansson plays Janet Leigh and the score is by Danny Elfman. Worth seeing, for 2 different takes on the man.

@asterix7842 7 месяцев назад

Great reaction to a classic movie. "Martin Landau!" I'm always surprised and pleased when a young reactor recognizes and old actor who I wouldn't think they would know. Now I'm curious what you've seen him in. Thornhill's lawyer was played by Edward Platt. He also played the Chief on the TV show Get Smart. I was going to point out Hitchcock's cameo, but you beat me to it. He makes an appearance in most of his movies. Eva Marie Saint was 35 when this movie was released. To Catch a Thief (1955) and The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956) are good Hitchcock films to check out Other great Cary Grant films are Arsenic and Old Lace (1944) and Bringing up Baby (1938), the precursor to all modern romcoms.

Not a Hitchcock film but has been described as the best film Hitchcock never did. Stars Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn, Walter Mathau, James Coburn and George Kennedy. Suspenseful and fun.

“Pay the $2” was a saying of the times, meaning “Just give up”. The actual fine would have been much more.

@gallendugall8913 7 месяцев назад

Pay the Two Dollars is a vaudeville sketch in which a man is subject to increasingly draconian and unnecessary legal jeopardy because of his lawyer's unwillingness to pay a two-dollar fine.

@liblit 7 месяцев назад

'Pay the $2' actually came from an ancient vaudeville routine that would have been familiar to audiences at the time. A man drops a piece of paper on the sidewalk and refuses to pick it up and gets a summons. His wife says 'Pay the $2', the fine for littering. He refuses. He's going to fight it in court. He goes to court and insults the judge and ends up in jail, gets in a fight with another inmate--inevitably, he ends up on death row, awaiting execution. Every step of the way, his wife keeps telling him, "Just pay the $2." So that's where it came from.

@cjmacq-vg8um 5 месяцев назад

what the saying "just pay the 2 dollars" means is its cheaper and easier to just pay a small fine than fighting an injustice. lawyers are expensive and legal proceedings are long and expensive. just pay the fine and forget it. personally i both agree and disagree with this saying. it depends on many factors.

Fun and entertaining reactions from Coby, to this superb Hitchcock thriller. I especially loved that Coby spotted the equally superb actor Martin Landau, in one of his great film roles as Leonard. Martin Landau and his real life wife Barbara Bain starred together in the original Mission Impossible tv show and then briefly moved to England to star in the excellent sci-fi tv show Space 1999.

@cjmacq-vg8um 5 месяцев назад

hitchcock made many wonderful films. he's called "the master of suspense." and his skill is amply displayed in films no reactors react to. like 1) "suspicion" (1941) also starring cary grant, 2) "the man who knew too much" (1956) starring jimmy stewart (he made 4 films with hitchcock) and is the only hitchcock remake, 3) "strangers on a train" (1951), 4) "rebecca" (1940) the only hitchcock film to win the best picture oscar but hitchcock, himself, lost the director oscar (hitchcock NEVER won an oscar), 5) "the wrong man" (1956) the only hitchcock film to star henry fonda, 6) "shadow of a doubt" (1943), 7) "spellbound" (1945) with a dream sequence designed by salvador dali 8) and you can go way back to 1938 with his excellent "the lady vanishes" hitchcock's last british film. and this is just a partial list of hitchcock's finest. so many great hitchcock films - so little time.

The mixup in his identity happened at the beginning when he raised his hand to call for a messenger-type employee to come over so he could send a telegram to his other- at the SAME time that another messenger person was walking thru the lobby calling for “George Kaplan” (in order to keep up the appearance that Kaplan was there) and the 2 thugs thought Roger must be Kaplan. Sending telegrams from hotel lobbies/bars/restaurants etc. was more common at the time (like sending a text today) and hotels had more staff that were available to do jobs like that.

Not sure if you caught it at the beginning. Roger raised his hand to summon a bellhop in order to get him to send a telegram to his mother (strange a world where that was easier than trying to make a phone call in a world basically without answer machines). At the same moment, another bellhop is walking around announcing there was a phone call for the other guy. The two bad guys mistakenly thought Roger was answering the summon for Kaplan.

@Gravydog316 2 месяца назад

what's an answering machine? 😐

@johnnehrich9601 2 месяца назад

@@Gravydog316 The original phone had three options when it rang. Someone could answer it, if someone was already on the phone, you got a busy signal, or it could just keep ringing until the caller simply gave up. An answer machine was a separate device, a tape-recorder connected to the phone. If no one answered after a few rings, the answer machine would automatically answer, give a recorded message by the owner, and then record the answer the caller gave. (It functioned like today's cell phones, but mechanically.) But these were pretty expense until the development of the transistor, and so they were limited to certain business, like say a doctor's office. The telegraph was invented much earlier but because a lack of switching equipment, they were located in a separate office for a whole town and connected one office to another. You would go to the office and write out the message, being charged by the word. This was handed in, and then the telegrapher would send it out. At the other end, the message was decoded from the Morse code of dots and dashes, and written out. Then someone might be despatched to take the message to the desired home or later, the office would call and keep trying until the phone was answered. If this sounds incredibly cumbersome, it was.

@The.Android 7 месяцев назад

One of the most common themes in many Hitchcock films was 'the wrong man' theme. He even made a 1956 film, The Wrong Man, based on a true story. The theme of an innocent/wrongly accused man goes back to Hitchcock's own childhood when he was 5 years old after Hitch did something slightly naughty and his father decided to play a joke on him by giving him a written note and telling him to go to the police station and give the note to an officer there. The note asked the officer to place the young Hitch in a cell, tell him "this is what we do to naughty boys" and then let him out after 5 minutes. Some of 'the wrong man' theme Hitchcock films are: The Lodger (1927), The 39 Steps (1935), Suspicion (1941), I Confess (1953), Dial M for Murder (1954), To Catch a Thief (1955), Frenzy (1972).

On the train, he was not hiding in the luggage compartment. That was the upper berth which was to fold down to become a bed. However, normally it was locked and required the Pullman porter to open it when he was making the room into a bedroom. Eve mentioned she got the key from the porter to open it and get him in, and get him out again. On the other hand, every conductor checking tickets on every train would routinely check each bathroom as he went by, not so much as to catch stowaways but simply make sure he got every ticket, even from people actually just innocently using the bathroom.

For me, these videos take what is larger than life and make them smaller than life. Constant commentary aren't reactions. More like Mystery Science Theater 3K but for good movies and without the wit...even if some commentators like to laugh at their own lame remarks. I usually check out the first 5 or 10 minutes. If its constant jabbering, I fast forward to the end if there are final comments. THATS were the talking should be. Movies, as you know,, have no talking allowed...and for good reason. And its why most filmmakers find these videos disgraceful. I saw one where 2 southern women "watched" 2001...on a tablet! Kubrick is doing somersaults in his grave. Ought to be a law. As far as GENUINE reactors (who react genuinely), so far I can count them on one hand. I actually wait for the day when these various commentators offer comments on movies they watch on their own. Do they talk to themselves? Oh well, the days of cinema ( and cinema appreciation) are indeed over, as some directors rightly state. And not to denigrate anyone, this youtube trend is just more proof of that, sadly. Hey, can you imagine these kids doing Easy Rider?? They have no context and would HATE it.

For more Hitchcock, I suggest "Rear Window" and "To Catch a Thief," both with Grace Kelly.

@GuyusSeralius 7 месяцев назад

North by Northwest is one of my all time favorite Hitchcock movies, right up there with To Catch a Thief and Rear Window. I enjoyed watching you watch it. You have such a fast mind! I'm impressed with your mental processing speed and ability to accurately predict how the movie will unfold, especially that shading pencil trick! Well done! And yeah, Eva Marie Saint is quite something, isn't she. This was the first movie I ever saw her in and I remember being quite taken and seduced by her unique beauty and charm. I'm a major Cary Grant fan, too, so it's one of my favorite films to watch. I look forward to watching you watch Rear Window staring Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly, who is another one of my favorite classic female lead actors--my absolute favorite actually. She is so beautiful, graceful, and divine! I strongly recommend you do a reaction video watching To catch a thief, another Hitchcock film that is a suspense, action thriller, again staring Cary Grant only this time with Grace Kelly. You won't be disappointed.

New subscribe. I loved your take on it. This is one of my favorite movies! Cary Grant was talked about as the first James Bond but they decided he was too old for the part. There is a lot of art in this one, too. The United Nations wouldn’t let Hitchcock film inside so he did the interiors on set and had a painting done for the aerial shot. The house above Mt. Rushmore was done the same way. For your next selection, can I suggest Rear Window. James Stewart and Grace Kelly. Also, you could watch To Catch a Thief with Cary Grant and Grace Kelly. There are so many other great Hitchcock films! Enjoy them!

Cobi guessed it! Always one step ahead of the movie, very cool. Yeah, this is not one of Hitchcock's air-tight plots, this is him having fun and making a breezy, entertaining commercial movie after the weird, heady "Vertigo". Not my fave at all, but fun. Round 2 of your Hitchcock series is a different matter; really looking forward to that one! PS: Eva Marie Saint was actually an early method actress; this is her doing a big budget Hollywood thing, with "un-method" artists such as Hitchcock, Grant and James Mason.... but she was known from the Actor's Studio crowd, heavily associated with Brando and "On The Waterfront". (Martin Landau also was from that crowd, friend of James Dean, etc). Definitely a good little actress, as Cobi pointed out!

@Ceractucus 7 месяцев назад

It's hard for a modern audience to figure out why the two goons mistake Thornhill (Cary Grant) for Kaplan. The two goons know that Kaplan is at the hotel and are trying to find him, so they ask a page to ask for him (the young man calling out "Mr. Kaplan"). At the same time Thornhill realizes he has given his secretary the wrong number to contact his mother so he asks for the page, because the page will bring him to (or direct him to) a phone. So as the page is calling out for Kaplan, Thornhill calls out for the page, convincing the two goons that this must be Kaplan.

Cobi: When you watch many of Hitchcock films of the 1950"s and early 1960"s, the lead actresses such as Grace Kelly, Doris Day, Vera Miles, Kim Novak, Eva Marie Saint, Janet Leigh and Tippi Hedren had one common physical feature. They were all blonde and beautiful. The 1940s movies did not have the blonde requirement.

@ink-cow 7 месяцев назад

"Mother", actress Jessie Royce Landis, was at least a bit older than Cary Grant, but only by a mere 8 years. My personal theory is that she's Roger's stepmom, which might account for the more casual relationship--being a stepmom almost his same age.

@artoniinisto9022 7 месяцев назад

At the time of filming, the idea that Cary Grant (really originally Archibald Leach from England - they just released a biopic), the most easily recognized person in the States, could simply go unnoticed anywhere using just sunglasses was hilarious. Hitchcock had as a method the idea of shooting murder scenes as if they were love-making and love scenes as violent struggles. "Shall I murder you?" "Please do." He had a liking for my country, Finland, where he was very much appreciated, and planned to shoot his final film, also an agent film, here in the capital, Helsinki, the main market square and the islands (of which he would have had 180 000 to choose from). But after The Family Plot (wordplay with 'plot' meaning both a burial place and movie plot) he had had it with filming all his life and didn't even watch them that much anymore.

Like all Hitch's movies, there's deep psychology. Thornhill is mother-dominated, has a string of marriages as a result, his initials are ROT with a nothing in the middle. But he's forced to live out his 'shadow' and become who he really is, Kaplan, and win the girl. Fun but deep. Eva Marie Saint is still in action.

Yes, you nailed it. A bad relationship with ones mother is a frequent theme in Hitchcock movies. So is the idea of an innocent man getting accidentally involved with dangerous people in a dangerous situation that is way over his head. Another recurring theme is Hitchcock's fear of the police (who always seem to be more of a potential threat than a help).

So, the eye *Thornhill's* watching is probably working overtime. Along with "The Birds" you might also like "Rear Window". Great reaction.
