cary and ingrid and weekend links

It's August, which means that Turner Classic Movies is hosting their annual Summer Under the Stars. Today happened to be Ingrid Bergman day, where they showed one of my favorite films ever, Notorious. Directed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1946, it pairs Ingrid with one of my favorite actors of the era, the unstoppably charismatic Cary Grant.


Aren't they gorgeous? I love their chemistry together. And Ingrid has the most spectacular costumes, hair and make-up. Look at her eyelashes!


The film represents Hitchcock when I loved him best: well before birds and psychos and back in the early days of his Stateside career. Films like Rebecca and Spellbound, the ones that had a sort of edge-of-your-seat thrill without necessarily aiming to "scare" you.


It's full of really fantastic lines like, "I guess I'm the girl nobody remembers." and, "Dry your eyes, baby; it's out of character." The sort of things that should only be said in black-and-white, preferably with a fedora and a cigarette present.
Shamelessly, I don't own the DVD but I did record it so a much-needed rewatch is on my agenda for the weekend, as well as lots of shopping and hanging out with my sis before she has to leave - and, of course, lots of blog-reading! Speaking of, here are a few posts/videos/articles I've been enjoying this week:
