This is one of my frequent whines, but I think it bears repeating. I cannot understand why movie directors, even the best of them, are guilty of the "empty suitcase" scene. It is very rare in any film or tv program to see a person hefting a heavy suitcase. In almost every situation the suitcase is obviously empty, which, of course, kills the realism of the moment. I noticed it again today in the film Dear Heart in which Geraldine Page arrived in New York with an empty suitcase, overnight bag, and cosmetic case.  This was directed by Delbert Mann. How could he? But I've seen it done by Hitchcock, William Wyler, Igmar Bergman and any number of other name directors. How can there be a set full of people and no one, no one, says, "Gee, that empty suitcase looks like an empty suitcase."?

Note: Here's a perfect example. Everything in this scene is planned out, except for the fact that Barbara Streisand is carrying that already-heavy leather suitcase in a way that indicates it is empty. Very odd.
