This is your"What's your favorite Scene" post. Come and express how and why you think is the best scene. My favorite scene is when Robert (Barry, whatever) is trying to keep Pat quiet behing the rock. it's just a cool part that Rob acts out pretty great. Him and Prissila are a graet team.
shareJust watched it again for the 1st time in 10 years and enjoyed it much more this time.
Favorite scene would be the "showdown" scene of dialogue between the evil "Charles Tobin" played wonderfully by Otto Kruger and Robert Cummings in the upstairs room at the party of "saboteurs".
The way Hitchcock shoots Kruger from a bit of a distance on the couch away from the camera, with Cummings the hero, closer brings us all closer to the ideals fought for by the "good guys" in the film.

The blind man's monologue starting with "have you noticed his handcuffs?" was amazing, made me feel fuzzy inside
shareThe blind man represents an homage to Frankenstein; just like the blind old man in that story, this one can "see" the truth about the stranger who has stumbled into his cottage.
sharefunny you should ask, i think this movie has got the grooviest settings and footage, scenes and stuff, the hitchhiking with the trucker at night, the blind piano playing man in the cottage, alote of pleasent scenes.
i've got bad experience from about every place i've been,
i'm just an insecure soul, in a world i couldn't make it in,
i've tried as good as i could,
i've been to every working ground and neighborhood,
i couldn't make it nomather where i stood,
i've just had it proved a million times over, that i ain't no good,
i've got bad experience from about every place i've been,
doc, i'm just an insecure soul, in a world i couldn't make it in,
i sit in my lonely chair, feeling so low,
nothing but misery everywhere, that never seems to go,
with no pride or dignity left, bad memories line up in a row,
and they don't need access, to remind me of what i alredy know,
i've got bad experience from about every place i've been,
i'm just an insecure soul, in a world i couldn't make it in.
There were two scenes that were my favorite:
(1) When Barry and Pat catch that ride with the circus performers, and when the police stop their caravan, Barry confesses they're after him. Bones and crew decide to hide him after taking a vote. Posters have said they couldn't determine when Pat changes her mind about Barry's innocence - my thought is that when Barry confessed to the circus group and then attempted to tell them what was going on, she began to believe that he might be innocent of being a saboteur.
(2) The scene when Barry and Pat are at the society party and they're dancing together. You can see they have fallen in love with each other and for a brief period, they have some paradise in the midst of crisis. I loved those scenes, but I wish Hitchcock hadn't been so abrupt with the ending (where Barry crawls back up the Statue of Liberty and into Pat's waiting arms).
I like the scene with baby Susie Brown (Margaret Ann McLaughlin). I wonder how they got such a small baby to co-operate with the camera without her wanting to get hold of it and peep down the lense.

shareThe river sequence was pretty cool. And I liked the way his truck buddy helped him out.
"How could I have known that murder can sometimes smell like honeysuckle?"
I liked Statue of Liberty Scene in the end.
shareThe scene were Fry is in the cab passing "luxury liner row" and we see that shot of the Normandie on her side.
"Let's get out of here before one of those things kills Guy!"
when the baby's mother goes inside she says 'make sure she desn't fall into the pool' and during the ensuing dialogue he doesn't even check to make sure she is okay.
shareI can't believe nobody has mentioned my favorite scene!
I laughed out loud when Barry and Pat are in the ballroom dancing and he is professing his love to her. Just as he says that she and the moment are his and that he won't let anyone take them away, a man cuts in and takes her away from him. Great comedic timing from a mostly dramatic film
Who the fu_ck are the Knutsens?
I liked the filming of the end sequence on the Statue of Liberty (though admittedly it was not particularly exciting for Hitch).
My favourite scene by far is the opening of the film, the shots in the factory leading up to the first act of sabotage. True Hitch art.

Any and all the scenes with Priscilla Lane. I watch this film regularly and it is mostly just to look at her. Her character is not only easy on the eye, but Ms. Lane is simple & good & wholesome as the 'girl next door'.
In its own right, this is a good film.
My favorite was when Fry dropped off the Statue of Liberty, like she shrugged him off. Second was when the Nazis were arrested in Rockefeller Center, always like to see fascists, commies and royals lose!
"Could be worse."
"Howwww?"
"Could be raining."
