Confidentially, I think you're a bit of a stinker, too...

Do you know what The Lady Vanishes is? Apart from a film I should have seen years ago; I feel deprived on behalf of a teenaged me who would have loved it to death. And apart from the oldest thing I have ever watched in my life (as far as I can think); the flickering was a culture shock to start with. Anyway, it's a perfect Yule-fandom discovered

*small voice* I've never seen it. And I live with someone who aroed anything Hitchcock. I'm not all that keen on him, though I love Rebecca. It has George Sanders. :D

I've never watched a Hitchcock film before! I'm far too nervous a viewer, but this one is kind of like a mash up of screwball comedy with a political thriller & while its very much of its time, I also found it thoroughly engaging and charming.

Rebecca is a good movie, if one feel up to it. It's very much over the top Gothic horror at first glance, but in reality the horror is on a psychologial level. Joan Fontaine is very good as the un named new wife of a very rich widow, beeing more and more opressed by the dead wife, rebecca, who was perfect. At least that how it seems.

I read the book a long time ago, so I wouldn't mind watching that some time, then. I think it's the sort of thing I'd still try and wait till I was a bit better, though, first.

If I don't remember it wrong, the Movie is pretty faithful to the book. But no, not a happy story and with some disturbing themes.
