Touching #NorthByNorthwest on CBC this morning. It was long--time host (22 years!) Sheryl MacKay's last day, and so many people had such nice things to say about her. Poor Kuljeet Kaila was unable to read the news headlines by the end of the show. The next host, Margaret Gallagher, has big shoes to fill.

Sheryl's moving to podcasting now. Find her at https://www.sherylmackay.com

The host /producer/technician of CBC’s NxNW, Sheryl MacKay, is retiring at the end of December after 22 years doing all the things. End of an era. #cbc #sherylmackay #nxnw #northbynorthwest

Eva Marie Saint and Cary Grant are incapable of giving mesmerizing, pitch perfect, charming and sexy performances. #TCM #NxNW

The only film Hitchcock made for MGM #NxNW #TCMParty

I believe I once heard Herrmann’s score as a live orchestral work. Thrilling! #NxNW #TCMParty

Thornhill called the mi rifling statue the “pumpkin” - no doubt a reference to Whitaker Chambers and Alger Hiss #NxNW #TCMParty https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumpkin_Papers

Leo G Carroll was Cary Grant’s boss and cousin (who fired him for embezzlement) in SUSPICION #NxNW #TCMParty

This auction scene always slightly reminds me of ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT (paging @LouLumenick@twitter.com) #NxNW #TCMParty

I knew Les Tremayne from “Shazam!” As Billy Batson’s mentor #NxNW #TCMParty

Watching #NxNW on #TCM. For the 379th time. Perfect movie. Eva Marie Saint (whom I adore) told Ben Mank she went shopping with Hitchcock (maybe Bergdorfs- can't remember)and picked out her wardrobe herself. She knew she had to have that black and red dress when the model walked out with it on. Her wardrobe and Grace Kelly's in Rear Window are my favorites of any film ever. #TCMParty#Hitchcock

@alanhait It's a preposterously impractical way to kill someone. #NxNW #TCMParty #ClassicFilms

@alanhait Watched #LittleWomen earlier today then just flipped on #TCM and it was #NxNW. Perfect. Cary in a cornfield. One of my faves Hitchcock. Wonderful cast. Grant. Saint. Amazing settings. Dialog. Trains. Suspense. And Eva Marie's costumes and THAT house.

I’m so, so glad Cary Grant never lived to see Botox launched #NxNW #TCMParty

Artistically, the crop dusting scene is cinema immortality. Dramatically? It’s like a death designed by the Riddler or Egghead. #NxNW #TCMParty.

“Big face, small razor” #euphemism #NxNW #TCMParty

Gee I wonder how it ends? #NxNW #TCMParty

Ernest Anderson, wasted YET AGAIN. #NxNW #TCMParty

I have used that line. “What do you do besides lure men to their doom on the 20th Century Limited?” #NxNW #TCMParty

I always wish that Thornhill runs into the Countess DeLave on the train to Reno (via Chicago) #NxNW #TCMParty
