1. Kudos to Hitch for great casting.

Hitchcock films were noted for their leading ladies. Almost always blondes. Eva Marie Saint was by no means an obvious choice for the N By NW role. But Hitchcock saw in her the "Fire and Ice" that his women were famous for. And she was great!

2. Looking for pics, I found one of her with the hair back and in a grey suit

Astounding how much she looked like Hitch's classic girl.

And then other shots made her look like the other classic Hitch girl: the ones with glasses who never get the guy in the end -- the ones who kinda look like Alma! Hitch was kinda messed up...
