*Everybody* disagrees with me about North by Northwest but
when you're talking popcorn flicks, what difference does it
make? Did you ever read Daphne DuMaurier's short story The
Birds? If there was ever a writer with an image problem, it's
her. Rebecca is sold as a murder mystery, prototypical chick
lit, literature and lord knows what else. There's at least
six different marketed covers on the paperbacks that I ran
across browsing around used bookstores. The Birds is a really
good story and Hitch and Evan Hunter . . . OK, I'll stop. And
the film Don't Look Now actually did her story. She's a
really good writer.

Yes she is. A couple years ago I finally read some of her
short stories, including those turned into the movies
mentioned by William. She wrote some excellent short stories.
I haven't tried the novels, but I'll be reading more of her
shorter works.
