Last week, on Wednesday (the 6th), we headed over to the apartment of our friends Matt and Clarice. Matt was out of town, and as I like it when people look out for me when I’m alone, I try to return the favor. Clarice is a huge movie fan, and has great taste in moves. She had recommended to us an early Hitchcock film, The Lady Vanishes. We were very much game (I’m a big Hitchcock fan), and so the evening was laid out.

We grabbed take-out from the nearby Five Guys Burgers and Fries (my suggestion – I’m a big fan of this too), and we settled in to watch the film. Clarice did not lead us astray – the film was pretty fantastic. The basic plot is one of trying to figure out if the main female lead is seeing things after she gets hit in the head, and the story successfully mixes in the mystery of that with lots of action, suspense, and some wonderfully dry humor. I highly recommend it.

Clarice proposed a second film after we finished, but I had to work the next day and it was already 10:30, so I was forced to decline. We’ll have to catch that film another time.
