Wet Shaving in Hitchcock's North By Northwest

[RoyalKooparillo]

So I'm sure it's probably been mentioned before, but last night I watched Hitchcock's North By Northwest with Cary Grant, and there's a great couple of wetshaving scenes...

Cary Grant is hiding from the police in a beautiful blonde's sleeper car on a train, and he finds her miniature DE and brush in the bathroom and gives it a funny look. Later, he's in the train station bathroom next to a guy who's shaving with a straight and he starts shaving with her miniature gear...causing the straight shaver to give him a hilariously bizarre look. When he comes out, the blond asks him what took him so long. "Big face, small razor," he replies. Classic!

A fantastic film, if you haven't seen it. Espionage and mistaken identity. And Cary Grant is the man.

Ooo that scene got my ire up. Those conniving so-and-so's!

I did think "mother" seemed a bit young, though.
