Well, asakiyume just turned it into an icon: feel free to steal!
And then, many years later, as that vile little man in "Notorious."
I think he's marvelous as Alex, actually; the charming, cosmopolitan villain is a Hitchcock staple, but not necessarily the villain who is shyer and more vulnerable than the hero. (Again, Notorious feels like the logical, less simplistic progression from Foreign Correspondent.) He's not a strong character—the best thing about him is his love for Alicia, which is not more powerful than his fear of being found out—but there are ways in which he's the truest, and it kills him, and I love that sort of reversal.
I should have a Claude-a-thon!
You totally should. And then you should write about it.
