I am playing Ocean's album via Amazon. But, I might have to listen with ear phones. The highs and lows are too much for my speakers. Great album. Very happy @quoththeraven.

Wonderful, @quoththeraven

Alfred Hitchcock cast depending on who was available, not age or the original story. He cast both Cary Grant, Grace Kelly and Jimmy Stewart (not together) several times. To me, the success of the film was casting Elio with a very good actor. So I cared less about Oliver and the actor who played the older character. But after way over 400 posts, I was surprised to read your new post.

Sadly, I agree. It would be the same as writing Jimmy Stewart tried to appear older and wiser in "Vertigo."

I enjoyed the film as well. And I may see it for the second tome tonight rather than watch the Academy Awards. Just my opinion, but the overwhelming approval of the film may fade or grow even stronger over time. It took decades for people to greatly admire Hitchcock's "Vertigo." I doubt the current very high regard now has anything to do with the large age difference between James Stewart and Kim Novak. People loved Roman Holiday. And very young Audrey Hepburn won a best Actress Academy Award but now the film is rarely mentioned.
