I don't believe Curtis's involvement in the film was publicized at the time. Mia did look ill-at-ease in the scene, but one assumed she was playing the awkwardness of her character's situation - she's suspicious of her husband and secretly contacting the man whose blindness advanced his career.

It was a clever touch to have a blind character to whom the movie viewers were blind, and I would praise Polanski for not cross-cutting from where Mia was to where the blind character was (unless I remember the scene inaccurately, and he did!). That choice pushes the audience to imagine how the man on the other line looked, an effect similar to the film's ending. I wonder whether reviewers at the time acknowledged Curtis' voice and whether theater audiences also felt disconcerted hearing such a famous, recognizable voice.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04970797639620201166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8509825018139758536.post-50744992535925398232011-06-23T21:58:35.264-07:002011-06-23T21:58:35.264-07:00I think I'd send all of Judy's outfits to ...I think I'd send all of Judy's outfits to the Goodwill... was thinking of "The Eddy Duchin Story" - would have taken all of those Jean Louis outfits, too!The Lady Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963115499930520653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8509825018139758536.post-74100693700247435342011-06-23T11:59:30.933-07:002011-06-23T11:59:30.933-07:00Amen, Eve.

From Vertigo, I would have kept that gorgeous coat, her lovely grey suit, her dinner gown -alter-ego Judy's clothes were much less classy, as required by the story, but the dress she wore to dinner with Stewart (I think it was some kind of lavender?) I would have kept.<br /><br />And from Bell, Book and Candle -- EVERYTHING, including the cat!

But hers wasn't a glamorous era either. I wouldn't be surprised if Kim didn't like the coat and scarf at the time, I've read that she and Hitchcock didn't agree on the costuming. At some point, though, she apparently woke up and realized she never looked better than she did in "Vertigo" and wished she'd kept the coat. Had I been Kim, I'd have asked for all my "Vertigo" and "Bell Book and Candle" (Jean Louis) costumes.The Lady Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963115499930520653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8509825018139758536.post-53945708020683175662011-06-23T05:40:52.710-07:002011-06-23T05:40:52.710-07:00Good heavens, Eve, Marilyn manages to look incredi...Good heavens, Eve, Marilyn manages to look incredibly sexy even when she is just getting her makeup on! Did Audrey EVER look bad? Well, Mia Farrow definitely DID with that awful haircut - I remember thinking yes, it was de rigeur at the time, but yuck. I had read somewhere that Kim Novak did not like the white coat, black scarf look, but if she wanted it, I guess that wasn't true. It was truly stunning.<br /><br />Very enjoyable article and wonderful pictures!ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8509825018139758536.post-43976364100280800542011-06-21T06:04:15.723-07:002011-06-21T06:04:15.723-07:00I have seen some of these pictures many times...Bu...I have seen some of these pictures many times...But..
