Jimmy is classic.
The following year James Stewart was to be honoured with an AFI Life Achievement Award.
He may have been old and sick, but Hitch's acceptance speech, is CLASSIC!!
Sad that Hitchcock didn't get this award earlier rather than when he was old and nearing the end of his life. Truly a great director & ahead of his time.
ingrid never worked with jimmy but they were pretty good friends in real life. Jimmy was present in a number of life tributes to ingrid..and they were friends since the early time ingrid got her feet set in the us
One of the biggest and most wonderfull directors of all times - my personal tribute to Mister Alfred Hitchcock
Jimmy Stewart was the only man in my family to ever pull himself out of poverty. Truly a talented man.

Our splendid actor Jimmy Stewart. Amazing Alfred Hitchcock. I'd rather hear Jimmy's voice than listen to the London Symphany.
At that time he was very sick and actually defied doctors orders by going. Alma was also very sick at the time, she had recently suffered a stroke.

Ingrid and Grace Kelly for Cary Grant
At this stage of his life, Hitchcock was in ill health and I believe that he passed away the following year [1980] with a film called The Long Night in pre-production. Cary Grant, one of the quintessential Hitchcock leading men, remained active, touring in a one man show until his death in 1986. Stewart, who starred in three Hitchcock films, including the now iconic Vertigo, did some of his best film work in those movies.

Al Pacino and him are my favorite actors.
Thanks letting me know about this Zach.
Loved both. Vertigo is one of the greatest movies in history.
Hitchcock was famous for being expressionless. It was his way.
Huge, huge fan of hitchcock and stewart, great duo they were rope, the man who knew too much 1956, rear window, vertigo Love the chemistry between them
Those were the days when actors during their speeches were able tell a substantial anecdote ...
ty for posting this gem; so great to see these legends; Wish Anthony Hopkins would have been nominated for Hitchcock...thumbs up !
Hitchcock looks thrilled. I've never seen someone so happy before.. 1:25
Hitchcock's face is priceless
All we need is you is such a back handed compliment
He IS amused, but it's just his humour to look little angry. Just listen his speech, he's very funny and clever.
Legends all around.

Jimmy Stewart and Cary Grant were two of Hitch’s favorite actors.
Oh man, look at his face.
The animatronic Jimmy Stewart was also a nice touch.
That's just about the best summation of Brando I've ever heard. Bravo!
the 70s were amazing
all we need is you.
@airza It's more complicated than that. Hitch and Stewart had a fine working relationship until the former unfairly pinned Vertigo's box office failure on Stewart, saying that he wasn't attractive enough to attract audiences anymore. That's why he cast Cary Grant in North by Northwest. So, the bad blood between them can't all be blamed on Stewart.
I was alluding to him being the king in the 40s and 50s.
At 1:50 there's a face in the crowd blurred. Why?
in the shot of Hitch after Jimmy said he was articulate he looked anything but articulate
I love Alfred's face. "I AM DA MASSTAH!"
its as if they knew hitch would die a year later
@niall29 Just sitting there? Do you realize how old Alfred Hitchcock was at this point?? Besides, Hitch had a face, an accent and an image to uphold. lol. You do know that Al never won as many awards as he truly deserved, right?
Hitch has one facial expression for every mood.

Is that Hitch? I thought it was Buster Keaton.

HITCHCOCK NOT AMUSED.
Hitch & Stewart's relationship didn't blossom at all. Stewart was promised the North by Northwest role which was finally given to Cary Grant. Stewart also criticised his first Hitch film "Rope" which bombed in the box office. He was also vocal about script problems in "Rear Window". I can see why Hitchcock doesn't look impressed. I think Stewart is swiping him.
Hitch has been considered as a brilliant person with Asperger's Syndrome, posthumously. That's likely why he's not smiling for the applause.

Who said that Hitchcock had Asperger's? Because he doesn't smile? Why would he? Some people just dont smile, that doesn't mean they are autistic.
