North by Northwest

John

I'm in Victoria at the moment picking up some posters and went to the stage play of North by Northwest on Saturday night. I have always loved the film and couldn't imagine how they would be able to adapt it to the stage. Well, it was a brilliant production with some great comic touches that I'm sure Hitchcock would have appreciated. For those of you who are in Melbourne, I highly recommend it.

David

John

They followed the film faithfully which was quite an achievement. I hope it goes national.

We did notice a white car following us most of the way to Shepparton but I think we lost it at the pass.

You should stop by for a coffee so I can lighten your load before you head back to Queensland 

You have my address right...

Awesome John! It's one of my favorite films and do hope it goes national! I've not seen too many theatre productions in my time--Les Mis, Cabaret, and Phantom---but did see a production of All My Sons and it did a good job of sticking to the movie.

Ahh the barn find was in Shepparton was it? Ironically I lived there for 10 years. Any Hitchcock or uni horror titles in the find John?

No, it wasn't Shepparton but not that far from there. We did a lot of driving around Victoria and actually stayed in Bendigo for a few days to see the Australian Snooker Championships. I will be going through the collection over the next few weeks. There is a range of posters from 3 sheets to lobby cards, some in pretty bad shape but an interesting mix. Unfortunately, no Universal horror or Hitchcock.

Any RKO?

Oh yeah, that's alright. I'm looking forward to see what's in the find. Hopefully there is something of interest for me..

That's it! Highly recommended. A very clever production. Have a look at the videos on that link for a sneak preview. Maybe I might go again!

Excellent...just bought my tickets!

Can't wait now!

Maybe we should make it a VMPF catch up!

David

Might take my wife to that myself, she likes the movie.

theartofmovieposters

Hehe...I just rang my sister to see if they wanted to come.

She said which one is that?  I said, you don't know North by Northwest by Hitchcock?

Her reply "Is that the one in the court room?" 

Sheesh, sometimes I swear I must be adopted...
