There is something so magical about Cary Grant, his debonair aplomb and ascerbic wit. Never more engaging than in this, one of Hitch's finest movies.

The sheer enthusiasm i have for this film is unabated, Eva Marie Saint plays it frosty cool, and Jimmy Mason is really terrific as the villain of the piece.

I particularly love the crop dusting sequence, i don't know why, but i guess it is where Spielberg got his ideas for Duel from.

There are so many interpretations from this film, and i won't spoil your enjoyment of it by listing them all here now.

Lights out, glass of chianti, crack on!
