[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 405168, member: 23"] Yes. Or the obsessive love from [I]Vertigo[/I] (sudsy enough for [I]Knots Landing [/I]to take inspiration). The "can she be trusted" romantic intrigue of [I]North By Northwest[/I]. And of course the homoerotic Love That Dare Not Speak Its Name undercurrent of [I]Rope's [/I]antiheroes. I'm no fan of the song as recorded (certainly not the 1956 version, though I imagine she's re-recorded it at other points), but watching [I]TMWKTM[/I] was the first time I liked it. It's a combination of the nice, simple arrangement, the context of the story (which really sells it, even though the lyrics have almost no connection to the story itself) and the fact that Doris appears to be singing live rather than lip-syncing to a pre-recorded vocal. :dance: [/QUOTE]
