City Lights is an obvious masterpiece as is Keaton's Our Hospitality. I recently watched Strangers on a Train.

I think you and I are classic movie "twins" when it comes to the films we love. Keaton's Our Hospitality is perhaps in the top three favorites of his, and I often cite Strangers on a Train as my favorite Hitchcock.

These films features two women who knows what they want and how to get it. I'm a fan of Wilder's film, but I adore Leave Her to Heaven. Perhaps, it's the casting of Gene Tierney, who is not as hard as Barbara Stanwyck. But she is fabulous (especially in that scene with the kid swimming) and Vincent Price has a nice bit, too.Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143901229925085760.post-82016707104392477132021-05-16T16:56:21.385-04:002021-05-16T16:56:21.385-04:00Ruth - yes - Mary was just undeniable.
