Remembering Eva Marie Saint youtu.be/dHtJUWO7yeA?... What a scene. One of the greatest in movie history. Subtlety and style. Less is always more. A single glove in the hands of a punch-drunk boxer, Eva's shy smile, the cold mist, and Leonard Bernstein's score.

🎬 Great to see so many retrospectives to the wonderful Eva Marie Saint. A particular favourite film of mine from the 1960s is 36 Hours, in which she co-stars with James Garner. It's my recommendation for the day youtu.be/bVG96J7apwM?... #oldmovies

Very to sorry to hear of the loss of Eva Marie Saint, one of my favourite actresses from the Golden Age of Hollywood, and perhaps the last remaining one. True class :( 👉 www.theguardian.com/film/2026/oc... Loved her in On The Waterfront, North by Northwest and 36 Hours.

Eva Marie Saint: the Hitchcock Blonde who outgrew the persona

Her glacial poise in North By Northwest made her a cinematic icon, but films including On the Waterfront and Loving revealed great subtlety alongside the glamour

I love British films from the 1950s, especially crime/noir and the forgotten 'B' movies. So many to choose from and plenty are free to watch on youtube too www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... #BritishCinema

Another phrase which wasn't used when I was a kid, is 'get-go'. It's all over the place now. I never use it by the way. The phrase "get-go" means the very beginning or start of something. • First Use: The term first appeared in the United States during the 1960s.
