I'm not familiar enough with Hitchcock to know which ones to watch or not watch, other than the ones I've already seen before and know I like. I think I *might* have watched it before. But I don't remember it. I know the crop duster scene is iconic which makes it really hard to know if it's a memory from watching the movie or the umpteen parodies and clips I've watched over the years. The set isn't going anywhere. I may get around to watching it. What does it pair with? How about "His Girl Friday?"
