I go to the video store and I browse the movies... Hmmm..... an Alfred Hitchcock film. He always been highly regarded by film experts and has many fans. I knew about the airplane scene long before I seen this movie. It just a huge pop cult thing right?
So I have my hopes up. I have no clue what the movie is about and only that it's directed by Alfred Hitchcock, the horror suspence master...or so it would seem until you see this movie.
Was this a comedy? If so why is it not funny. Is Cary Grant actually considered a good actor? For most the the movie I thought that his character was actually this sky fella he's been mistaken for. I was praying that everything would make sense if he would just reveil that he's be faking the whole time and that he is in fact a sky. That was the only way it would explain why he was not frightened of people dragging him out of a resturaunt, into a mansion, pulling guns on him, trying to throw him off a cliff, and other dangerous things. The whole time Cary Grants charater ask as if this is just another day. And he falls in love with that woman?! wtf. And why do they bad guy not just kill him!? They make a simple task so complicted. These are some real over thinking criminals. Stab him in the head? Nah, lets force him to drink a whole bottle of booze then put him in a car and roll that off a cliff. Shoot him in the heart? Ok, but lets do it from an airplane.
Why does this movie not have any jokes. MAybe this was Hitchcocks unique sense of humor. He must have thought it would be funny to make a comedy without any jokes.
