Hitchcock Year Revisited
As Regular Shadowplayers may know, I spent 2009 watching all of Alfred Hitchcock’s films, one a week — plus all the TV shows he personally directed for good measure.
But for the benefit of any newcomers, I thought I’d link to a few highlights, in honour of For the Love of Film: The Film Preservation Blogathon. If you don’t see your favourite there, that’s ’cause my selection is governed by perversity and whim. But if you search for Hitchcock Year in the SEARCH function to the right, all the entries will appear, in reverse order. Or just type the name of the film you’re after.
THE PLEASURE GARDEN. Miles Mander is pretty thin, isn’t he?
Allergic reaction to the German language.
Hitchcock’s lost film — recreated!
Carl Brisson, master of nuance.
Sound test for BLACKMAIL — if you ain’t seen it, you need to!
Both BLACKMAILs.
The Hitchcock Tarot Deck.
A Hitchcock Fumetti.
A short story by Hitch, visualized by me and Hitch.
Some of the least known, but most factual, Hitchcock Facts.
The underrated THE WRONG MAN.
A favourite: The Crimes of Gavin Elster.
A TV piece — with video excerpt.
Watching PSYCHO with mum and dad.
Two TV works.
Test footage from KALEIDOSCOPE/FRENZY.
It all ends here.
I know, I know! There’s already ONE blogathon going on… bookmark this page, is my advice. But more importantly, click on this thing below, and donate!
