I didn't think anything like as much of this as I always have before

Rating: 7/10 (24 August 2019)

Well, well, I don't know if its because I've recently watched the sparkling and action packed and intriguing latest Tarantino movie or that the Blu-ray shows up the backyards as mere artifice BUT I didn't think anything like as much of this as I always have before. Clearly still a good film but rather drawn out and theatrical without, if truth be told, very much going on. James Stewart is fine but I've never been a fan of Grace Kelly. I assume Hitch felt that the claustrophobic affect of Stewart being stuck in his chair and us stuck watching him would increase the entire effect and I'm sure there was a time when this was so, bud sadly no longer.
