I absolutely love this movie; the opening scene sold it for me. It holds up to current times, and is completely humorous. Katherine Hepburn, Cary Grant, and James Stewart were all great in this film. Hepburn's character is a socialite that is about to re-marry after a divorce from CK Dexter Haven (Grant), and Macaulay Conner (Stewart), is a tabloid reporter there for the scoop.

Shaun Collins (3 KP) rated Lethbridge-Stewart: Blood of Atlantis (#9) in Books
Jan 12, 2018
An outstanding entry into the Lethbridge-Stewart line, it's very much a slow boil to start, and has an early James Bond feel to it. Once things get rolling, the action and the pace do not let up until the satisfactory climax. Thoroughly enjoyed this one, for a more detailed review, see www.travelingthevortex.com.

Shaun Collins (3 KP) rated Lethbridge-Stewart: Mind of Stone (#10) in Books
Jan 12, 2018
Yet another excellent entry into the Lethbridge-Stewart series that features a slow, but deliberate build to a breakneck climax. With a James Bond feel, it makes a great capstone to this particular season of books, all of which have been solid. Can't recommend these enough for Doctor Who fans, or fans of sci-fi in general.

A quiet masterpiece
This was Hitchcock's more subtle films, although it was a flop at the time, I think it's still a quiet masterpiece. It's claustrophobic watching James Stewart follow around an enigmatic woman, becoming obsessed with an image of her, only to realise he's chasing an illusion. The twist at the end is pretty brilliant leaving the viewer slightly spellbound by what happened. While it may not be as harrowing as Psycho, it's still a treat to watch.

James Stewart is brilliant. Bloody brilliant. As a political science major and buff, watching this film was so satisfying, especially in a time like this. If only our entire government was full of men like Jefferson Smith, I wonder how different it would look. He is kind and honest and truly just wants the best for the countries citizens and it radiates, unlike anything I've ever seen before. Stewart is the standout, no question about it.
I think this is a film everyone should watch and it's absolutely worth it. I can't say too much about the actual film itself without spoilers but I will say that I would find it hard to believe if anyone regretted watching this film. If they did, I'd love to meet them. Mr. Smith Goes to Washington is a masterpiece if I've ever seen one.

Rope
Rope- is one of my faviorte alfred hitchcock's films.
Its mysterious, thrilling, suspenseful, dramatic, twisted, keep on making you guest until the end.
The plot: Just before hosting a dinner party, Philip Morgan (Farley Granger) and Brandon Shaw (John Dall) strangle a mutual friend to death with a piece of rope, purely as a Nietzsche-inspired philosophical exercise. Hiding the body in a chest upon which they then arrange a buffet dinner, the pair welcome their guests, including the victim's oblivious fiancée (Joan Chandler) and the college professor (James Stewart) whose lectures inadvertently inspired the killing.
I would highly reccordmend watching this movie.
