Tough question with five Hitchcocks and even more comedies.
I can't believe no one yet has mentioned THE AWFUL TRUTH (with Irene Dunne & Ralph Bellamy, directed by Leo "Duck Soup" McCarey) or THE TALK OF THE TOWN (with Jean Arthur & Ronald Colman, d. George Stevens). So I'll add those.
There has to be two Hitchcocks. I'll say (here) NOTORIOUS (definitely) and--though it ushered in the bombastic spy-movie era--N-by-NW,
I have 1 week left to choose a fifth.
No one's mentioned Father of the Bride, either. I haven't seen it....
Mr. Blandings is on TCM tonight -- a Martha Stewart guest host selection.
