I watch Hitchcovks Vertigo with James Stewart and Kim Novak. As much as I love Jimmy Stewart I was not a fan of this movie.

Yesterday mom and I watched Alfred Hitchcock's Saboteur.

It was great!

Oh I am on a Hitchcock roll right now, I am going to look for this. I must confess I only like his Black and White flicks!

I am sorry that you could not find the movie. Mom and I had never heard of it and mom is a classic movie buff. It was made in 1942 and it is black and white. I hope that you get to see it one of these days.

Its delightful!

I have been gifted with a list of great black and white movies that I will be enjoying very soon. Thank you!

I ran across the Nanny with Bette Davis and it came up on the Firestick so I am about to enjoy it!

Since the first thing I do is read the trivia, i will share:
Working with the flu, Bette Davis would drink out of her co-stars' glasses and cough in their faces.

The role of the Nanny was originally intended for Greer Garson who first accepted then declined, saying the script would not be good for her career. Jimmy Sangster who wrote and produced the film later said, "I went to Santa Fe and met with Greer, and she said she liked the script, and everything was fine. When I got back to London, we had a message from L.A. saying that Greer Garson didn't think the script would do her career much good. I didn't like to say she didn't have a career in those days."

According to writer Marcus Hearn in "The Hammer Vault", Davis unsuccessfully tried to seduce producer Jimmy Sangster.

Jill Bennett says Bette Davis gave her one important acting tip: "make love to the furniture."

Ten year old co-star William Dix could not attend the film's British premiere because of the "X" rating it originally earned.

Director Seth Holt found Bette Davis "impossible" to work with.

The last film of Nora Gordon.

Bette Davis forced co-star Jill Bennett to walk behind her at the dog track one night because she thought she was underdressed.

The last Hammer film to be made in black and white.

Alfred Burke replaced Harold Lang.

The battery-powered walking robot toy Joey is playing with is a Horikawa "Silver Gear" model, made of tin in Japan. In good working condition it could be worth $800, even without the box (in 2015).
