All About Eva
Turner Classic Movies ran off North by Northwest this weekend, one of my favorite Hitchcock movies (along with Rear Window and Strangers on a Train). I won't go into all of the reasons I enjoy this film here, except to give special Llama Yips! to Bernard Hermann's score, one of my favorite pieces of cinematic music. (Unfortunately, I have been unable to get it out of my head since Saturday night.)
TCM also ran a "Making of N by NW" program of which I caught a few minutes. It was hosted by, of all people, Eva Marie Saint herself. I say "by of all people" because the woman is over 80 years old and I was vaguely surprised that she's even still alive. Nonetheless, she looked quite, quite fine. Not only that, apparently she's Clark Kent's Mom.
Such a great movie. One of my all-time favorites.
