“How does a girl like you get to be a girl like you?”

Note: Cary Grant was 25 years older than Grace Kelly, his lover/nemesis in the movie, while he was 8 years younger than his “mother”, played by Jessie Royce Landis.

A cougar tried to pick up on my son on a Trans Canadian Rail trip.

The disadvantage is that on a train if someone you DO NOT WANT takes a fancy to you, it’s difficult to avoid them.

Other than that the trip was wonderful, the scenery (where there is some, there are parts that make Kansas look mountainous) is stunning, the people at the stops are wonderful, and the on-train staff was flawless.

"North by Northwest" is one of the best. I bought the 50th anniversary DVD ten years ago. The real train actually drives right through the farm my father grew up on and my great grandfather homesteaded. (They don't show the farm in the movie, which was probably filmed mostly in California with a bit at Mt. Rushmore. If not, the movie would prove that the sun sets in the east.)

I like "Silver Streak" even better, though, it's hilarious.

I will never forget the night my husband and I saw the movie. We had just moved all day into a new house and were really tired . We decided to go get a bite to eat and see a movie to relax. HA! I will never forget that crop duster coming straight for us! Great movie.

“...even if she does park herself at some other guy’s table.”

That was standard practice on railroad diners...they had only so many tables, after all. Business connections, friendships, and even marriages were started that way through the decades.

A classic.
