I had a friend shoot a portrait of another friend in a recreation of this scene. I wish I could say I helped in any way, but I just stood around and gawked.

THE classic Suspicion pic and a *fabulous* bad pun! Parfait! I really like the ingeniousness of putting a light bulb into the glass to create that sinister phosphorescent glow.
do you recall in “Sex and the Single Girl” where Natalie says that Mr. Curtis looks like Jack Lemmon when he’s wearing her robe?
love that.
felt like the screenwriters probably shared a tuna fish sandwich on rye in the MGM commissary and wanted to secretly record their conversation for posterity through celluloid.
As you know, Cary Grant remains my favorite star/actor. His walk up that staircase, lit as he was in wonderful B&W cinematography, was simply sinister and striking as all get out. A classic image, for sure. Great post, Vickie.
The critic David Thomson certainly thinks so, one of his inarguable judgments, I think…

(oh toot! Sorry) -view of Books website which you can access if you have a membership, which I, alas, am not. Sorry I could not be a greater help.
I do recommend Thomson’s book to you – and to you too Heather! 🙂
He is amazing in this movie; not a big Fontaine fan though.
Even in the most dreadful movies, he was pretty amazing 😉
So sinister. Such high drama in that little glass of milk and those creepy web like shadows. Love this photo.

I stole it from an ad campaign – however, the stars of said ad were a couple of talking cows. I can feel Mr. Grant frowning upon me from up on high…
As well he should, as well he should… 😉 Love your ingenuity Ms Vickie!
we adore cary grant.
especially when funny Mr. Curtis references him in that other movie saying “Nobody Talks Like That!”
😉
Some Like it Hot…
Yes. We certainly DO 😉

Based on the Helen Gurly Brown book! I’ve never seen it and now I have to 🙂

Perhaps THE archetypal movie actor?
