And it always fascinates me how (and where) they intersect -- as ours do with Hitchcock. Thank you for adding yours to this tribute.Joe Torciviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421096229407174474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5408368436169661319.post-13232773672826209812013-12-21T10:42:32.927-05:002013-12-21T10:42:32.927-05:00Thanks for sharing these later appearances of Joan...Thanks for sharing these later appearances of Joan Fontaine, Joe. I had not known about any of these--I will have to check them out.<br /><br />"Damsel in Distress", anyone? How about "Ivanhoe"?<br /><br />A great favorite of mine (possibly my favorite of all her films) is "Decameron Nights" in which she stars with Louis Jourdan and they act out a framing story plus three embedded stories within the film, as each character tries to one-up the other with a story about marital fidelity/infidelity.<br /><br />Of course, "Rebecca" and "Suspicion" are list-toppers, too.<br /><br />In the late 80's, she did an interview for television that was connected to a broadcast of "The Women", and her anecdotes added considerably to the enjoyment of watching the film.<br /><br />Overall, a great lady leaving behind a legacy of wonderful films.scarecrow33https://www.blogger.com/profile/10552306802823617940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5408368436169661319.post-28958257786570289772013-12-20T12:28:49.684-05:002013-12-20T12:28:49.684-05:00I wholeheartedly agree, Will.
