All those stars and to see Hitch looking so old and what brings me to tears? to see that Mr. Cary Grant is sitting next to him...What an honour. It looks to me that they were good friends and had a lot of respect to each other. I don't know how to describe it. But it is just... great!
@brgvt97 I know. Some today still hold up some class. But It's just so much idiotic statements and booty this bling that, you know? ;)
I would like to have been born in 1920 and died in 1997, JUST so I would be perfectly happy not knowing the world post year 2000. Hehe.. But we can be happy in 2011 also. You just have to tune some of the rubbish out
@MrFibes The classiest person nowadays is Anne Hathaway. Yes, I miss the pre-2000 days. I think about it often. Maybe that's one reason why I like old movies - they were made in a more innocent time and people had more class back then. Nowadays, people are ruder, they're chasing the buck, and they're self-centered. The tech gadgets of today are nice, yet peoples' standard of living is declining every day. The world changed beginning with the Florida recount in November/December 2000.
@brgvt97 Now, there is so loud..people. In those old interviews, people kept their head cool, they talked in a different way, and in interviews its so great to listen to a grown up conversation about relevant interesting things.
I dont mind f.ex gary busey doing strange interviews, he's just a comic relief. But when it takes over and it's in all the media with celebrities who just dont give a shit about anything, with what they say or do,
@MrFibes Its a scary thought where we are heading mediawise, entertainingwise. We are all ready there, but the frightning part is the cultural dumbening people out there.
Media plays a really big part shaping parts of our lifes.
I agree with you on the old movies part.. I too watch mostly classics, because with newer films, I often either dont like the movie, or one of the actors in it.
Maybe I have a problem some would say, but I dont care, I'm happy lol ;)
@MrFibes I agree, people just want to do outrageous things to draw attention to themselves. It's a way to generate more money for themselves and boost their careers.

Currently reading Hitch's biography. He hated attention and this clip displays it so well. Nice to see Cary sitting next to the great man. Quite right!
Is it me, or does Hitchcock seem almost upset that he's been given the Lifetime Achievement Award, like he wished he didn't have to and would rather get it over with?
Its funny how highly Shadow of a Doubt is rated by Americans - It's very good and all, but nowhere near Strangers on a Train, Rear Window, Vertigo, Psycho. Maybe it appeals more to the empiricist bend of Americans, whereas we Europeans prefer deep symbolism.
@Pippin76 I think it is because of the great casting and the small town flavor. Teresa Wright and Joseph Cotten are amazing in this movie and the supporting cast is wonderful.
The reason why Hitch supposedly liked Shadow of a Doubt so much is because he thought that the story was so much more sinister and realistic than his other films. The reason: because in real life murderers are often those people who are in our midst, they are our neighbors, our sons, daughters, cousins or uncles. And the deepest fear and often reality is that person who committed such awful acts could be living under the same roof as you. Great story and one of his best.
@Charleybones Great points and I am sure you are correct. I was responding to Pippin's comment about why Americans liked Shadow of a Doubt, and I think in many ways it is the most American of his movies. It is set here and is a story everyone can identify with. It isn't exotic or about rich people, just average middle class, and that goes back to all you said.
Beautiful ceremony. Hitch isn't disinterested or ungrateful, he's ill. Francois Truffaut in his book describes him as appearing to be there, but his soul was missing. Hitch died a few months later.

wow...yes a lot of class and beauty! theresa wright,vera miles, and jane wieman all look more lovely at time of filmingthis, than tippi hedren ever did in her whole life....
that was hitches only flaw, hiringher...shes so annoying....(but thats why she ws perfect 4 birds, realistic that even the birds disliked her hahaha)
@Eryqah i never said she was dead...just that the other ladys in this clip. were so much older and out of there prime, but still looked amazing., and still better than tippi
LOL at 4:38 when Cary Grant looks up at the stage, sees (his very good longtime friend) Ingrid Bergman, and says, "Well, hello." Very cute. Lots of class in that room. Thanks for sharing these!
lol.. tipppy is one of hitches great wondders as shewas not as pretty or talented as most of all the others..but yet somehow it worked in the birds and marnie because u dont feel sorry for her cuz she is so annoying! and u understand why birds want to attack ! only thing bad about hitches movies was sometimes the way the story ends is no good, big let down after some really exciting movies but thats the writers fault not his.. wow i love teresa wright and vera miles and jane wieman! muah
They tried several times. he was the first offered, he refused. he actually refused all tributes except the Kennedy Center because he didn't have to speak at that one.
@audreyauto i remember reading from somewhere that the AFI did ask Cary Grant but he didn't accept the award from he didn't like to make public speeches.
I cant believe Tippi Hedren turned up after all the trouble she had with Hitchcock . Not recognising Connery was hilarious , would not be surprised if that was intentional though LOL
thats interesting yeah, but i think she was always respectful even though Hitchock gave her a hard time. She was on letterman with Pat Hitchock, Janet Leigh etc and spoke about this...
so funny when hitch didn't recognize sean.....
