I'm a huge Hitchcock fan, I studied him in college too.

Jordan? I don't know, maybe his facial expressions seem exagerated for me. When I see him, I can't help but giggle.




I like how Altman controlled every detail of the set, but let the actors do whatever...exactly the opposite of Hitchcock or Billy Wilder.

Comrades makes me smile.

You know, actually Cecile DeMille was the same way. He was known for epics and controlled his story. But he expected actors to know what they were doing, so he was known not to really direct the acting.
