Played by a Pro

That was the line from a song whose name I cannot remember right now. But it was all I could think of last night at the Stanford Theater while I was watching Suspicion. If Hip-hop artists want to see a true pimp in perfect form they should get a load of Cary Grant in Suspicion. Of course like most Hitchcock movies I was the one that felt he had been played by a pro. The second of the double feature was The Lady Vanishes. Another one that kept me on my seat although the heavy was pretty easy to spot. 1938 (Anschluss, Munich, Kristallnact) hangs heavy on this picture. The fate of the pacifist politician is pure propaganda. Appeasement is not going to work. War is coming. Europe is about to change forever and she knows it.
