Summer lovin' had me a blast! Summer lovin' happened so fast! Oh, who just doesn't adore JOHN TRAVOLTA in GREASE? That hair, that smile, those hips, GOLLY GEEEE-OW! So, this next film is part two of MITZI'S ODE TO SUMMER. You may say that this next film is a very weird movie to watch in the summer. But lemmme tell you somethin'. There is nothing I mean nothing like watching an ALFRED HITCHCOCK movie in the middle of a SUNDAY afternoon in the summer. Try it if you haven't. It's like a virgin pomegranate mojito by the pool. In fact, that is where I will be heading after I'm done with this.

So, this film is an early one by one of the greatest of the greats! I hadn't seen this one, so, what a treat is all I have to say. But, no, wait, I have to say more 'cuz this is my job. Well, that Mr. HITCHCOCK is known and loved for his razor-sharp wit. This film really shows you how subtlety funny he is. He is a master(I like to think of him as a spider) of drawing you into his world(web) and keeps you there till he is done with you. The story is simple but the film is complex. Oh, the photography, the humor, the sweet little old lady, the young women having fun, the dancing and music. I am so happy and comfortable, then BOOM! MYSTERY!! Layers upon layers of good stuff . I find it difficult to describe his work. It's like ripples on a pond and underneath is a great white shark. MICHAEL REDGRAVE is wonderful as is MARGARET LOCKWOOD. The little old lady is the BEST, though. The supporting characters are all wonderful. The majority of the film takes place on a train and well, who doesn't love mystery on a train? In fact, who doesn't love a MYSTERY? And honestly, I have found no one comes close to MR. HITCHCOCK in that department. Oh, well there is DIABOLIQUE, but that's another story and it's french.
