sapphiremoon, I was about to type the exact same thing. There are few original ideas left in Hollywood, I know, but there are just some who's body of work needs to be left alone. Hitchcock is at the top of that list, me thinks. Although Ms. Watts certainly looks very "Tippi Hedren"ish in that shot.
