Torn between wanting a Blu Ray player and knowing that certain death awaits me when I watch this on it.

my film history class watched The Lady Vanishes today. (I was the only person - besides my teacher, of course - who had already seen it.) I have always loved Michael Redgrave as Gilbert, though no one else in my class seemed to think very much of him. As far as my classmates were concerned, he might as well have been a very tall mop. For them he’s merely one more in a sea of faces paraded before us, his last name perhaps ringing a distance bell… but I think they’ll forget him after this term is over. It’s a shame.
That’s just more Gilbert for us to love. This is the movie that made me love Michael Redgrave. Gilbert is just so….guh. He’s funny, a little bit rude, brave and terribly sexy. And the way he dresses. A three-piece tweed suit with a bowtie? Yes, please! Who cares what your classmates think. If they are anything like mine back when I was in film class, they turned up in sweatpants and uggs and slept through the movie. Unlike mine, (since the internet didn’t exist when I was last in film class…) they will probably crib a review off some poor saps blog for their homework. Fuck em. You got class, baby. And obviously so does your teacher.

Oh, my tweedy steed.
Iris Henderson: You’re the most contemptible person I’ve ever met in all my life!
Gilbert: Confidentially, I think you’re a bit of a stinker, too.The Lady Vanishes - Alfred Hitchcock (1938).
You two! Stop lying and get your tweed sexy on!
