I’ve read a lot over the years—some of it I wouldn’t want anyone to see because it’s pretty awful. My more serious reading, things like history and philosophy, are displayed openly; however, my less respectable choices, those romance novels and cheap western or adventure stories, stay hidden away. Once, a roommate discovered me reading "The Wolf and the Dove." I'd found a paperback for just one dollar at a library sale, and it seemed like the only thing worth picking up at the time. Hitchcock’s work brings to mind those old pulp novels you find in antique shops, or even the large collections available on Amazon—though Hitchcock’s stories are often superior. His films have lasting appeal; my wife is watching them on her own now. That's significant because she's a Millennial, and it’s unusual for her to willingly engage with older material. Typically, younger generations view anything “old” negatively and avoid it entirely... but she seems to be changing her mind about that, realizing things from the past can actually be worthwhile. That’s saying something; it isn't easy to get someone interested in black-and-white films. She really enjoyed this one. It remains good, entertaining even now, having been enjoyable back in the 1960s and still holding up in 2022. Few things improve with age, but Hitchcock’s work does.
