Every time I watch it, I am more surprised by it, by its darkness, by its humor, by cary grant’s facial expressions and comedic timing.

I've long loved learning about old Hollywood, but admittedly haven't watched many films from the time in full.
But now im amending that and these 2 are just so darn charming it's crazy!
Because they starred in movies of the 30s 40s etc their characters can really be such awful fucking guys, (and ones the audience is still supposed to root for somehow) and yet! Everytime I'll still find myself enjoying their performances!
I like how rhythm, timing and gesture are so fundamental to their style of acting. It's incredibly fun to watch them use their bodies so purposefully. Such obvious attention to detail/the musicality of movement is completely absent from our naturalism-obsessed age.
(s/o to Willem Defoe for going against this grain! Also to any actors who aren't waspy, and tho also following naturalism, still gesticulate like most people actually do irl lol)

His films are so funny and smart and calculated. It's all about the sinister nature of humanity and fears. They're not at all boring and they're super classic genre so.

They are the shit! I’ve been watching old Alfred Hitchcock movies such as the birds, vertigo and rope. I love them all. Underrated pieces of art. They led me to other films like The Seventh Seal or Metropolis. Rear window absolutely worth it. All are hidden or not so hidden gems worth watching.
