“Notorious. Hitchcock's Notorious. I think it's a masterpiece. It's funny what you can do, what you can get away with in a movie from that era. Outside of the obvious that, you know, the, that the Nazis guys are smuggling is literally being kept, and Grant spills it out onto the bottom, to the floor, and it's, this is prior to the detonation of the atomic bomb, so we give them a little pass on that, but, you know, Grant falls in love with Ingrid Bergman in like a shot, right? Like they're in Rio, and there's like a scene on a hill, and that's, and that's the movie going, okay, they're, so they're in love now. Okay, they're in love, and can we move on with the story? Okay, good, we can move on with the story. Let's just move on with the story. I'll give you one scene where they fall in love, and then we're moving on with the story, and the audience just accepts it. Whereas now you could never do that. You'd have to, you'd have to detail them falling in love, that would have to be a part of it. And for him, it was just a pipe to get past so that the rest of the story could function. Kind of miss those days.”
