Daily Dialogue — May 7, 2020

Eve Kendall: You’ve got taste in clothes, taste in food.
Roger Thornhill: [necks Eve] Hmm, And taste in women. I like your flavor.

— North by Northwest (1959), written by Ernest Lehman

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Alfred Hitchcock.

Trivia: This movie has been referred to as “the first James Bond film” due to its similarities with splashily colourful settings, secret agents, and an elegant, daring, wisecracking leading man opposite a sinister yet strangely charming villain. The crop duster scene inspired the helicopter chase in From Russia with Love (1963).”

Dialogue On Dialogue: North by Northwest is replete with saucy dialogue such as this scene.
