You're welcome. Taking Chance makes me cry too, but they're heartwarming tears.

This is one of Hitchcock's best movies. Mainly because of Ingrid Bergman and Gary Grant's involvement and Hitchcock's great camera work. Notorious (1946 film - Wikipedia)

Absolutely, a great movie. I and DH enjoy the low lighting and intriguing plots of the film noir genre, without the car chases and loud explosive special effects of many of the modern movies. We just watched "Laura," a movie filmed in 1944, in which a detective (Dana Andrews) investigates the murder of Laura (Gene Tierney) and falls in love with her as he looks at her portrait and finds out details about her from her friends. The theme song, "Laura" plays throughout the movie.

I will have to watch this some time. Means I will search for it on the cable channels as well as on DVD in the Lake County Library System. They have a great number of old and new films on DVD and some on Blu-Ray.

I borrowed it from the Lady Lake Public Library. It is on DVD. They also have some older movies on Blu-Ray across the Lake County Library System you can put on hold and get sent to whatever library in Lake County you want to pick it up in.

Well, I finally did get this movie from the library. Had to see it and simply couldn't find it anywhere else...except for a really poor quality public domain copy on Youtube. (Sorry, BK. I still appreciated the referral. )

Notorious (1946)

I really like this movie a lot. Some of Hitchcock's movies don't seem as great to me as they obviously do to others. But I like this one quite a bit. And it also makes me realize (as I think I've mentioned before) that I have a bit of a prejudice against some older movies. I may judge them by unfair current standards or something like that. But I have a hard time being truly taken aback by older movies lately.

I really like all the actors in this movie, so that helped a lot. My mom and I used to watch Cary Grant movies a lot when I was a kid. (I think she would have left my dad for Cary Grant. LOL!! ) I will admit I was looking a little bit more for a story of intrigue and suspense, when in fact I felt it was basically a love story with an international spy setting. But at least it was a good one.

PB Rating: 7.5/10

I enjoyed Notorious too and am now watching Laura from 1944. It is strange seeing a very young Vincent Price in it.

Last night watched one of my all time favorite movies, Secretariat. It's the story of the greatest race horse of all time. He was the triple crown winner of 1973. What stands out is the third race, Belmont Stakes that Secretariat won by 31 lengths! It's a great movie.
Actors: Diane Lane, John Malkovich.
The real star of the movie is "Big Red" aka Secretariat.

Really loved that movie.

For those of you who saw this post earlier, I have a confession to make. It was a placeholder for a review of a movie I had recorded and planned to watch and review here. Turns out it was a foreign film in a foreign language with subtitles. I briefly tried but simply could not get into it. LOL!!

I'll pick and review another movie very soon.

The original Swedish version and the author being from that country seems to capture the story much better. He wrote a trilogy and all three were made into movies in Sweden, only the first one was made here. The author has died since these films became big.

If you get the original 2009, you'll have a choice of foreign language with subtitles or the actors dubbed with English. Set it on the foreign, and just read along. It's really a great film.

2009 Swedish version (very good)



2011 American version (not so good)

Agree that the Swedish version is much better.
