The interesting thing though is that you look at a lot of old Hitch**** films, like Vertigo and Psycho and they weren't exactly well recieved in the day. Vertigo split a lot of opinions. Nowadays though, its considered one of the greatest films of all time. You sorta wonder if its about harking back on a loved director and seeing their work in a better light than its initial release. Obviously its a good movie though, just interesting comparison.

hmmm, i was under the impression that North by Northwest and To Catch a Thief were always well-received. that's how they stood the test of time.
compare that to say, something like Sunset Boulevard and you can see which one has lost their edge over the years. then again Billy Wilder might have dated a bit since then.
