Great MM! And Good Evening!

He has an instantly recognisable gait and body shape doesn't he? Not the kind of man who gets lost in the crowd. Happy Mute Monday.

I'm a big fan of his movies. He was distinctive in so many ways. Very clever interpretation and have a Happy MM!

Bear said...

Troll:
There's even a suspected cameo where he's made up as a lady and is a passenger on a train.



Kate:
Thank you Kate, and Good Morning to you.



Gypsy:
Yes he does, but that one where he was the 'Before' and 'After' in the weight loss add on the newspaper, was apparently done as a result of his substantial weight loss.

Happy MM.



Moi:
I'm a very big fan of his and was thrilled I could do this.

Thanks and Happy MM.

Brilliant idea for your MM. Hopefully I can think of something later today!

Another great take on the theme, Bear...I can almost hear the music that played as he stepped into his silhouette!

Aunty Belle said...

Hitch??!! Wonderful...I jes' watched that old movie, Rebbecca, a Hitchcock classic. Nicely done.

Happy MM Bear!

Bear said...

Pamokc:
Thank you... and good luck with yours.



Java:
I would never miss his TV show, it opened my eyes to what a good director could do. Except maybe the lame joke he'd have when introducing the show.



Aunty:
He had a high ratio of 'classics' in his body of works.



Happy MM to you all.

The Master! 'The Birds' terrified me and I have never been able to watch more than a few minutes of it. The only way I could watch most of his movies was to focus on searching for his cameo, rather than getting engrossed in the story and having the living daylights scared out of me :)

I invented the suspense-thriller genre.

Bear said...

Cake:
I didn't know about the cameos until after being a fan of his... but it did allow me to see all his movies again.



Al:
Inventing it is one thing... but mastering it is an entirely different matter. Don't you think?



Happy MM, guys.

Jenny said...

Ohhh, I have his early TV shows on DVD and love to watch them. Very cool pick and Happy MM!

Oh I love this MM take! What is your favorite Hitchcock film? I love Rear Window.

Bear said...

A.B.
I'd love to see the TV series again... must check out the library.



Thursday:
Ooo that's hard to say, there's so many that I love... but Rear Window is definitely up there along with Birds and Psycho.



Happy MM.

I love Hitchcock. This was great! I especially enjoyed the film clips.

Bear said...

Groovy:
I thought 'Love Story' would be more to your liking. But then I don't know of anyone who doesn't like a good Hitchcock movie.

Cheers.
