Half Hitchcock, half Hepburn
Deanna 2022-03-23 09:02:10
This "Enigma" can be called a combination of half Hitchcock and half Hepburn, which may be a bit unfair to director Stanley Dornan, whose "Singing in the Rain" is enough to show its status, but The film does have a very obvious brand of fatness from the title design to the creation of Cary Grant and the spy as "MacGuffin". However, due to Hepburn's joining, the whole article always exudes Hepburn's charming charm. There is indeed a lot of chemical reactions between him and Grant. The lines are full of wisdom, and Walter Matthew's very good supporting role interpretation keeps the suspense of the story. , Unfortunately, the suspense from Hitchcock is still a lot of skill. Fans who like Grant and Hepburn will not be disappointed. If you want to watch a classic old movie, you will not be disappointed.

It would be nice if I changed a hitchcock to another book, and Stanley Donen made it without any suspense. Audrey Hepburn is so beautiful, 360 degrees without blind spots! !

I can imagine that this film must have been a box office bluster back then. Countless Hollywood cliche is now used to be spit on, and the script has lost my temper. Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn don't know what to do in it. . .

Adam Canfield: All right, get set for the story of my life.
Reggie Lampert: Fiction or non-fiction?
Adam Canfield: Eh, why don't you shut up?
Reggie Lampert: Well!
Adam Canfield: Are you going to listen?
Reggie Lampert: Go on...
Adam Canfield: Now, when I was a young man, my father expected me to go into his business. Umbrella frames. That's what he made. A sensible business, I suppose, but I didn't have the sense in those days to be sensible.
Reggie Lampert: [looking skeptical] I suppose all this is leading somewhere...
Adam Canfield: Well, it led me away from umbrella frames, for one thing. But that left me without any honest means of support.
Reggie Lampert: What do you mean?
Adam Canfield: Well, in this highly competitive world, when a man has no profession, there isn't much choice, so I began looking for people who had more money than they needed... including some they'd barely miss.
Reggie Lampert: You mean you're a thief?
Adam Canfield: Well, that's not exactly the term I'd have chosen, but it sort of captures the spirit of the thing.
Reggie Lampert: I don't believe it!

Reggie Lampert: Alex, how can you tell if anyone's lying or not?
Alexander Dyle: You can't.
Reggie Lampert: There must be some way.
Alexander Dyle: No, no. There's an old riddle about two tribes of Indians. The Whitefeet always tell the truth, and the Blackfeet always lie. So one day you meet an Indian. You say, "Hey, Indian, what are you, a truthful Whitefoot or a lying Blackfoot? He says, "I'm a truthful Whitefoot." But which is he?
Reggie Lampert: Well, why couldn't you just look at his feet?
Alexander Dyle: Because he's wearing moccasins.
Reggie Lampert: Well, then he's a truthful Whitefoot, of course.
Alexander Dyle: Well, why not a lying Blackfoot?
Reggie Lampert: Which one are you?
Alexander Dyle: A truthful Whitefoot.
