Your words weave the banter and dialogue into a scintillating story like the Scots plaids are woven...and make beautiful romances! Swoon-worthy. :-) And no, I've never been a Hitchcock fan. A lot of his stories gave me chills. Not romantic either.

Thank you, Christina! What a lovely thing to say. So glad you enjoyed Rake. I hoped you'd like the jokes! Cary and Audrey really are such individual performers, aren't they? There's nobody like them!

I have to say I wanted the flavor of the dialogue between Peter O'Toole and Audrey H for Rake - that prickly back and forth that hides two people who are crazy about one another, much as they wish they weren't!

I love Hitchcock, he's such a master storyteller, much like Ms. Campbell! Fascinating about the Jewel! What an extraordinary piece.<br /><br />As for actors, Hepburn (Audrey, of course!) and Cary Grant are definitely my favourites!Christina Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11408660886747542063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-25175971581969526502013-08-27T22:07:35.485-04:002013-08-27T22:07:35.485-04:00I am in LOVE with Audrey Hepburn-- and old movies ...I am in LOVE with Audrey Hepburn-- and old movies in general.

I got such a kick out of that. Myrna Loy was awesome in that movie. <br />Yes, I did know that Sidney Sheldon wrote the screenplay. He was a true talent. Even when I was a kid, I was a credits reader. I love movie trivia and knowing who wrote what and who directed what was part of the fun. Frank Capra directed IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT.
