Vertigo by the Northwest Window


Good Day, Mr. Hitchcock

Hello and Good Day. We love movies. We grew up watching movies. We grew up watching old movies. We grew up watching Alfred Hitchcock movies. Hitchcock's movies were full of style. The clothes, the sets, and the details all influenced us. (Who knew what a Mark Cross overnight case was until Rear Window?) We agreed that Rear Window, North by Northwest and Vertigo entertained us visually. And Oh, what a lucky break, they are all in Big Bold Bright Color. (Don't panic, we'll do one on black and white, too!) Whew! Enjoy the show.


 Rear Window
The ultimate.

 Vertigo
God, Donna loves this coat!

North by Northwest
Great red dress, a martini and Cary Grant. Sigh...

Vertigo
Cashmere sweater and an artists' studio apartment
 in San  Francisco.
 P.S. Donna use to have those glasses

Vertigo
Little details, big impact.

North by Northwest
Is there anything more stylish than initialed matchbooks?

Rear Window
YES! A Mark Cross overnight case!

North by Northwest
Who wouldn't want a furry chair?

Vertigo
The studio every artist wants. (the studio and that coat)

The entire set of Rear Window is fabulous but only looking out the rear window. Unless we can redecorate, Jimmy Stewart's apartment is not so much. As a result we offer this video to show the courtyard and the musician's apartment. Then we come around to Grace Kelly. She is at her most fashionable wearing loafers, rolled up jeans and a red shirt. She is one of those women that will always look Crisp (Patty is another, always Crisp). She is Our Style. 

Warning, this is the end of the movie! If you haven't seen it, shame on you and don't watch this clip. Go watch the movie. Thanks ever so. Good evening, Mr. Hitchcock.
