Happy Valentines!

Saturday 14 February 2009



Happy Valentines! Above is the painting from our Anzu 'mauve heart' card.
To set the mood, I thought I'd post a couple of romantic film and tv clips. Notorious is essentially a Hitchcock spy film, where Ingrid Bergman's character has to marry someone she doesn't love to carry out her spy mission. Nonetheless, I think this clip is so romantic and sensuous. Hitchcock broke the Hollywood censor record at the time with the longest kiss scene in Hollywood history. Screen kisses could only last for 3 seconds, but Hitchcock got around the censors by having gaps in the kissing such as when Cary Grant answers the phone etc.



Such a classic clip from Frasier below. The tension between Niles and Daphne is charged and hilarious at the same time.
