Summary: Enough with the suspense, we return once more to the filmography of Alfred Hitchcock this week. In the wake of the release of Hitchcock, a pseudo-biopic of the director's personal and professional struggles in the realization of Psycho, we thought it would be a good opportunity to offer our thoughts on another selection of classic titles from his filmography. Things begin with a look at the new film featuring Anthony Hopkins' portrayal of the character of Hitch, which proves an unusual approach to the biopic format. The question seems to be whether it was about the internal demons of the man, the behind the scenes story of Psycho or a combination that delivered neither. (interlude - Hitchcock understood what cinema could be...) The Lodger 24:28 - 31:27 (interlude - Maxim's proposal) Rebecca 31:27 - 45:16 (interlude - pre and post atomic bomb implications of Notorious) Notorious 45:16 - 1:00:37 (interlude - Alfred Hitchcock's trailer narration) The Wrong Man 1:00:37 - 1:22:29 (interlude - Guillermo Del Toro on TMWKTM 1935) The Man Who Knew Too Much 1:22:29 1:42:56 So we come to a close in our three episode retrospective of Hitchcock with many more important films and a beloved television series yet to address, however our plan is to continue with the discovery of his filmography and there will certainly be more discussion in the future.
