The Wrong Man was so unusual compared to his other works that they felt compelled to have a foreword by Hitchcock himself: It is a film adaptation of real events. We have the usual sense of sympathy for the protagonist, but the movie is relatively low-key for long stretches. Very strong performance from Henry Fonda, and terrific photography from Hitchcock’s long-term cinematographer Robert Burks.

Watched Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo and gotta say not as good as I thought it would be.

I love The Lady Vanishes and 39 Steps (which is his earlier stuff) but Vertigo... I was with it up until the half way point then boom it was just "ugh".

AND Vertigo is rate 8.5 or some shit.

I watched The Man Who Knew Too Much and Psycho and they were WAY WAY more interesting and better in my opinion and rated less WTF??!?!?!

My Hitchcock run continues with The Birds. I had a lot of fun watching it, even though it's not one of my favorites. In many ways, it's the blueprint for Jaws. I had forgotten how rad some compositions are. Twenty years later, Brian De Palma would bring out the diopter for such extravagances.

I watched Dial M for Murder again. Those early color films really do have a unique tone and quality. I believe WarnerColor significantly pushed red. And this film is a great example of what made Hitchcock famous: manipulating viewer sympathy for characters. He was the absolute master, such a great film.

🍿Topaz (1969) is a spy thriller directed by Alfred Hitchcock starring Frederick Stafford, Karin Dor, and John Forsythe. Firmly in John Le Carre territory, it’s a Cold War tale set during the run-up to the Cuban Missile Crisis. Check out Speckled Band’s Hitchcock homage track Vertigo, out now to stream and download.

Now watching the magnificent Young and Innocent (1937), another classic from Hitchcock's 1930s productions. There are several versions on youtube.

Nova Pilbeam beautifully conveys the supreme self-confidence of a well brought-up girl from the British upper middle classes, who is forced by circumstances to break all the rules. A most civilised version of anarchism!

Wikipedia tells me that Pilbeam stopped making films in the 1940s but lived until 2015. Her first husband was a great-grandson of Alfred, Lord Tennyson. Connections, connections!

How many Hitchcock films have I seen? Boy, what a rabbit hole to go into!

I checked his filmography and realise I haven't seen any of his many very early (silent) films.

I love all his UK productions from 1934-39, all wonderful. They are pure art, and the erotic undertones are actual undertones, not the thickly plastered-on pathological obsessions from the later movies.

I've watched "The 39 Steps" (1935) and "The Lady Vanishes" (1938) countless, countless times, with undiminished enjoyment.

The wartime US films can occasionally feel a little derivative; I haven't made the effort to see them all and may well have missed out on some hidden gem.

I've seen most of his post-1946 films, some are less exciting than others, all are watchable. North by Northwest (1959) stands out.

I seem to have missed out on his very last film, Family Plot (1976), I probably was just a couple of years too young to see it on release.

Born this day in 1899 Sir Alfred Hitchcock. I can't add anything to the tomes written about this man and his films. I'll just share my favorite quote from Hitch. When accepting the American Film Institute Life Achievement award: "I beg permission to mention by name only four people who have given me the most affection, appreciation, and encouragement, and constant collaboration. The first of the four is a film editor, the second is a scriptwriter, the third is the mother of my daughter Pat [Patricia Hitchcock], and the fourth is as fine a cook as ever performed miracles in a domestic kitchen. And their names are Alma Reville." Mrs. Hitchcock.
