Hello Girls! I like you blog, I like it very much. It shows you have all kind of information which makes it very complete, I think. I also like the idea of the opinion poll. Good luck, and thanks Claudia for your comment on my blog (High Noon).

Ferdinand:

I am a fan of Vertigo and this film for me is his most important work because Hitchcock had been the prototypic auteur long before that term was bandied about in English-speaking countries.

Thank you very much!!!!
