One of Hitch's Best!

Rating: 10/10 (30 March 2002)

This complicated, cinematic triumph deserves Best picture and best director award for Hitch along with Rebecca, Psycho, and Strangers on a Train. He never won those awards. Awards are given to mediocrities like Martin Scorsese etc..... Casting was brilliant both Tippi Hedren and Suzanne Pleshette were gorgeous and two totally different looking women. Rod Taylor perfectly cast along with Jessica Tandy. All the smaller roles were well cast. I have been in the Bodega Bay area and that atmosphere was captured. The ending Hitch wanted to use was proscribed by the studio heads. It was Rod, Tippi, Mom and the child entering the Golden Gate bridge and stopping because the bridge was covered in BIRDS! The birds and other special effects were overwhelming! Truly a masterpiece.
