Some of it may not make a lot of sense without having seen the first one, but it is not a movie that has to make sense.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-83101741580813936752016-05-29T02:14:00.541-07:002016-05-29T02:14:00.541-07:00Glen - spooky timing.

I think you'll enjoy The Recruit when you watch it.<br />I don't know that I have a favourite Hitchcock to be truthful. I have a box set of 15 of his films which I'm working through albeit at a snail's pace. Vertigo I've enjoyed and Rope. I like James Stewart! col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-86929560214720456062016-05-27T07:02:26.977-07:002016-05-27T07:02:26.977-07:00Wow, that is a lot of viewing.

The 4th one is my favorite, and the one you watched is the least favorite, but I can watch Bruce anytime. <br /><br />I will have to look into The Recruit. Anything related to spies sounds good. Notorious is one of my favorite movies of all time. Although North by Northwest is my favorite Hitchcock. <br /><br />Lots of other interesting viewing in this list.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-59454302922111669032016-05-27T05:33:22.378-07:002016-05-27T05:33:22.378-07:00Margot thanks.
