I've been watching a lot of old movies lately with my room-mate. It started with the musical "Singin' in the rain". I enjoyed it a lot. Gene Kelly was simply amazing and so was Debbie Reynolds. I also liked Joan Hagen. Debbie Reynolds looked so cute while performing 'Dream of you' and I like to watch the video of the song 'I'm singin' in the rain' again and again.
I've watched other old movies like "To catch a thief", "Gone with the wind" and"Dial M for Murder" so far. Alfred Hitchcock sure knew how to make mysteries and he had great taste in clothes too! I went absolutely crazy about the clothes Grace Kelly wore in "To catch a thief". They were stunning,especially the blue dress in her first scene. I can't say that I became a fan of Cary Grant. I don't find the brooding types very attractive :p Its so easy to see that most hindi mystery or thriller movies have been copied from Hitchcock's movies.
There is so much thought put into "Dial M for Murder,its pure genius.Its no wonder it has been re-made so many times by various other people into different languages. Nothing can beat the original though.
Vivian Leigh is one of the best actors I've seen and also one of the most beautiful. Her clothes in the movie were very pretty too. It was fun to know that she was born in Darjeeling. I also liked Olivia de Havilland's performance as 'Melanie'. I think the casting directors did a really great job.
I'm looking forward to watching Roman Holiday next :)
Update: Roman Holiday was such a nice and simple story! Very enjoyable!
