auction

definitely the auction, with Roger meeting Townsend a close second.

Roger and Eve: Dinner on the train scene

It's so racy!

Also The house: Roger overhears Vandamm and Leonard and tries to warn Eve is amazing.

first time mason meets grant

The flirty dinner on the train, no question. People always talk about how actors not taking their clothes off onscreen can be the sexiest thing and usually it's not true but here, wow.

The auction scene is genius. Hitchcock really forces the reader to do the impossible: feel embarrassed for Cary Grant. Then there's James Mason, at his most elegant and icy, casually putting him in his place.

Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Saturday, 16 June 2007 12:49 (eighteen years ago)

I'm just remembering the auction scene. It is terrific. There are lots of similar scenes in other Hitchcocks, aren't there, where the hero escapes the baddies' clutches in a large crowd by putting on a big show. The 49 Steps at the party meeting and that party scene with the Nazis in Notorious.

Sorry, I've added 10 steps.

The kid flinching before the gunshot in the Mt Rushmore cafeteria scene.

Michael White, Saturday, 16 June 2007 19:29 (eighteen years ago)
