By this point, that deal had already yielded Shadow of a Doubt all of which were hugely successful at the time and are now viewed as top-tier examples of Hitchcock’s oeuvre The same can’t be said for The Paradine Case but reportedly made out of a sense of contractual obligation “Hitchcock’s disgust with the content and method that were forced upon him conspired to produce an uneasy atmosphere from which Hitchcock could scarcely wait to extricate himself.” This didn’t go unnoticed by the film’s cast “He seemed really bored with the whole thing.” Perhaps a portion of Hitchcock’s dissatisfaction with the film can be attributed to his frustration at being unable to cast the people he wanted the director didn’t think Peck was right for his role as a barrister who falls in love with the mysterious Italian woman he defends in court from accusations she poisoned and killed her much older husband “Peck wasn’t right for the lead,” Hitchcock complained to New Hollywood icon Peter Bogdanovich in 1963 “It should have been Ronald Colman or [Laurence] Olivier Hitchcock cast Italian actor Alida Valli in her Hollywood debut believing Valli was the most promising young talent emerging from Italy at the time Hitchcock wanted Ingrid Bergman or Greta Garbo in the role even offering some (extremely) faint praise when he said Hitchcock’s true beef with the movie’s casting was centred around French actor Louis Jordan who played Mrs Paradine’s valet André Latour The story revealed that she killed her husband to be with Latour and Hitchcock hated this twist once Selznick cast Jordan He had envisioned the valet as a much more unattractive which makes it shocking for the audience when they find out the beautiful Mrs Paradine slept with him the casting of the classically handsome Jordan upset the delicate balance of the tale even if it conforms slightly too much to the superficial social mores of the time the way Hitchcock explained it to Bogdanovich inadvertently reveals so much about his own disappointing personal preoccupations the casting screwed up all the values and the whole basic situation,” he said “Any beautiful woman is a compromise for evil – sometimes the externals of evil can obscure the real woman,” Hitchcock claimed He then argued that Latour’s “real character should have been a manure-smelling stable-hand and should have been played by Robert Newton or somebody like that.” Peck degrades himself by falling for a woman who can take any man – even a groom But for Peck to give up an elegant wife for this woman Naturally, to modern ears, these quotes are wildly inappropriate, out of touch, retrograde, and horrifically offensive to women. Sadly they’re entirely in keeping with Hitchcock as a person and that’s the sad truth fans of his classic films have had to deal with ever since Laura Mulvey first defined the “male gaze” in 1975 and used Hitchcock’s films as prime examples By subscribing, you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy Some of Alfred Hitchcock‘s most beloved films are coming to both Netflix and the Paris Theater Netflix is tossing film lovers a bone with a screening series of Hitchcock’s films in collaboration with the New York Film Critics Association available on the streamer and at the Paris Theater in New York where lucky film fans can see it on the big screen I was lucky enough to attend a film class at UCLA way back in the day where all of Hitchcock’s movies were played on the big screen with a lecture by a professor at the end and I’ve never laughed so hard in my life and now that I knew all of the inside jokes that made it all the more funny I have seen my favorite movies of his countless times—so many times that my daughter has said she knows exactly where in the movie we are just by the music just using the actors and the flutter of the wings it’s silly to think birds would attack but it’s less a horror movie about birds and more about the inner lives of the women in the film That’s more or less what the professor said at the time and it made sense to me as a way to look more deeply into the psychology of Hitchcock It joins other movies like No Country for Old Men which use the silence and atmosphere of the place as the score Psycho and Vertigo are films I feel compelled to watch Rear Window would be my next in line of the most famous ones I’d follow that with North by Northwest and then head into the older ones I would put Psycho and Vertigo at the top of the best films ever made list Keep the lights on for this one — A collection of Alfred Hitchcock films are coming to Netflix and the Paris Theater to honor the legacy of cinema’s most influential directors In addition to the cinematic offerings in your Netflix queue The Original Cinema Influencer,” May 16 through June 29 co-presented by the New York Film Critics Circle Visit the Paris Theater or tune in to Netflix to rewatch a classic favorite or discover a Hitchcock film for the first time View the full Paris Theater screening series schedule and buy tickets here.

The meeting begins at 6 p.m. Monday, May 5 at the Mitchell City Hall Chambers, located at Mitchell City Hall at 612 N. Main St. According to the agenda for the meeting, the council will consider approval of an engineering services agreement to replace the older tennis courts at Hitchcock Park. The project would include replacement of eight tennis courts, updating the lighting and fencing and reconstructing the adjacent parking lot. The courts would be designed and bid as post tension construction. The city will consider approval of the agreement with SPN and Associates in the amount not to exceed $52,700 for services. The city has $62,000 budgeted this fiscal year for such projects. The council will also consider a resolution that would amend the city’s existing water and sewer rates to implement a surcharge required for the State Revolving Fund financing for city projects. The resolution would not increase the rates already in effect for water and sewer utilities. The new surcharges would be segregated from the existing water and sewer rates already approved. The surcharges would remain in place until the loan is paid in full. The resolution includes the implementation of the following surcharges: Additionally, the council will consider an application from Scott Morgan and Blarney’s Sports Bar for a special event malt beverage and farm wine license for June 14 at Cadwell Park for the first ever Blarneys Amateur Baseball Classic. The meeting also is scheduled to have a presentation from retired Mitchell businessman Roger Musick on visitor spending. Musick will share data he's compiled on tourism's impact on Mitchell and the region.

Which movies by the master of suspense are his best I remember being like ten years old when I saw North by Northwest When I found out the guy who made that movie made more movies I was chomping at the bit to rent them all And for just a dollar for every movie at the Exton Library The rest I had to find on Criterion later in life Hitchcock's films are best enjoyed by exploring them yourself But this is my list of the eleven movies I enjoy the most Let me know what you think in the comments this movie hit me so hard when I saw it for the first time and I think I am always working to recreate that feeling with my own work It is so intense and so intensely funny that you're on the edge of your seat while also swimming in delicious banter using a confined setting to create tension This was my introduction to the horror genre when I was like 12 there's an "anything can happen" quality to the story that absolutely inspired me I caught this on the big screen at the New Beverly last year, and it was so much fun. I love hearing people's reactions to the plot twists and turns in this story I have a special place for this movie in my heart as well I just love how Hitchcock takes the movie so seriously and moves it so slowly It never becomes an unhinged monster movie; we just slowly realize how outnumbered our characters are as they move deeper into this dystopia Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman carry this spy movie Hitchcock totally understands espionage and how it needs to be both sexy and thrilling Hitchcock's personal favorite film I love the idea of an Uncle coming to visit a family and there being sinister suspicions about him This movie plays with your emotions and your preconceived notions about people A movie told in a series of long takes. I love what's done with the character development and how the timing of the movie allows these people to mentally unravel after a murder Hitchcock expertly crafts a sense of creeping dread as we wonder if our lead will be killed off for her inheritance This movie creeps forward and has one of my favorite shots as Cary Grant carries a glass of milk up the stairs and we all wonder if it's been poisoned Hitchcock seems like he was the original set-piece director The climax of this movie takes place on top of the Statue of Liberty but there are several other cool scenes like the circus sideshow and everything inside the blind man's house I find immense comfort in Alfred Hitchcock movies I feel like he's in such control of each movie that you just have to give yourself up to the story and let him carry you I will not be offended if your top movies are not my own Just watch a ton of his movies and love them And let me know what you think in the comments A look at how the Blackmagic Camera app was used by hundreds of fans to help KoЯn create a dynamic and immersive concert documentary that’s a band name I probably haven’t seen or thought about since the days of watching MTV’s Total Request Live when I got home from middle school in the mid-2000s Blackmagic Design has shared a cool story about how one of the most popular nu-metal groups from their day used hundreds of fans to help them create a pretty kick-ass rock concert documentary Armed with Blackmagic Camera apps on their smartphones over 200 KoЯn fans served as assistant camera operators on a recent documentary that captured the band’s 30th-anniversary concert in action Let’s look at some fun behind-the-scenes tidbits about how this was pulled off As a celebration of the American metal band’s 30th anniversary concert set up a unique workflow using the Blackmagic Camera app and Blackmagic Cloud to turn hundreds of fans into assistant camera operators it actually sounds like a pretty simple process thanks to the ease of use with the Blackmagic Camera app which can be downloaded on both iPhone and Android smartphones and is free to download and use the real trick was working with all of the footage and data collected by the fans with the goal of editing together a seamless story and experience from the concert You can find out more about the project—as well as further learn how Blackmagic Design played a pivotal role in its development, capture, and edit—on Blackmagic’s website here Hitchcock created this Life Tributes page to make it easy to share your memories Share and view memories of Patrick "Pat".. Netflix takes flight with The Birds and many more absolute cinema classics Some filmmakers become legends, and perhaps the most legendary filmmaker of all is Alfred Hitchcock. And now many of his most iconic movies, and movies inspired by the 'Master of Suspense', are coming to Netflix One of the movies you can stream from the 1st of June happens to be my favorite Hitchcock film it's a masterclass in suspense and creeping dread and I still get the fear when I see more than a few black birds in real life is already streaming on Netflix if you're in the mood for screaming While Netflix hasn't revealed the entire list of Hitchcock movies that will be made available in the collection we do know that five other masterpieces from the filmmaker will be added Netflix will also be including films strongly influenced by Hitchcock's work including Us and Barbarian as well as a narrative feature called Hitchcock about his work and legacy directed by Sacha Gervasi Netflix is also presenting a Hitchcock special at the Paris Theater from May 16 through June 29 The Original Cinema Influencer' is a six-week screening of over 50 films including 36 directed by Hitchcock himself and more than a dozen more movies bearing his influence made in collaboration with him or in homage to his style Francois Truffaut’s The Bride Wore Black and Henri-Georges Clouzot’s Dialbolique The Alfred Hitchcock Collection will arrive on Netflix, one of the best streaming services Carrie MarshallSocial Links NavigationContributor Please logout and then login again, you will then be prompted to enter your display name.

Alfred Hitchcock may never have won a Best Director Oscar but he is still one of the all-time iconic filmmakers He’s known for being the “Master of Suspense,” but he’s also known for making cameos in his films the ones we are sure of and the ones that are a mystery the kind that Hitchcock himself would probably be proud of Hitchcock began his career so long ago that he got his start in the silent film era has a brief role with his back to the camera on a phone a few minutes into the movie The second “cameo” in Hitchcock’s sensationalist murder film is more speculative but even Francois Truffaut signed off on it Hitchcock’s first appearance came because the actor who was supposed to film the role had to drop out That got the ball rolling and justified more appearances but many people suggest the director is a passerby near the leading lady Isabel Jeans in this silent film That sounds about right for one of his cameos Hitchcock is in “Blackmail” for about 20 seconds Hitchcock appears on a subway train being annoyed by a boy This is an occasion where he actually actively pulls focus for a bit If you want a simple title that delivers what it promises and there’s a Hitchcock appearance as well he’s just a guy walking across the frame of the scene Jim Carrey’s “The Number 23” is not a sequel to this film The speculation is that Hitchcock is a man on the bus who is briefly centered in the frame This one must be really a "blink and you miss it moment," because we could only find one small photo of the potential cameo online so here's a photo of stars Leon Lion and Anna Grey This is perhaps the earliest Hitchcock film most people can name but that’s likely only because he later remade it himself Hitchcock might be walking in front of a bus in a trench coat Now we move onto a film that people consider Hitchcock’s first clear top-flight film While the two leads are trying to escape a hectic scene Hitchcock drops in to throw a little litter on the ground There are a lot of crowd scenes in “Sabotage,” the kind where a guy could really disappear into the fray a bunch of people gather in front of a theater and Hitchcock might be in that scene as well who would go on to win an Oscar for “Arthur” of all films but Hitchcock aficionados sometimes count it Hitchcock might be seen wearing a bowling hat and sporting a mustache but Also known as “The Girl Was Young,” you can see Hitchcock’s face clear as day early in this movie He’s wearing a hat and messing with a camera standing outside the courthouse This is the second-to-last movie Hitchcock made before leaving England to make films in the United States Hitchcock’s famed profile makes an appearance as he walks across the screen lighting up and carrying something in his hands Hitchcock came to America and immediately made a splash Hitchcock makes a quick pass in the background Star Joel McRea is walking one way down the street and here comes Hitchcock walking the other way Hitch has set aside the bowler hat he often wore in his British films for a more robust hat As he walks he’s reading a newspaper which seems dangerous This one really stands out in Hitchcock’s filmography the “Master of Suspense” did a comedy film Unrelated to the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie flick Hitchcock walks in front of a hotel for his cmeo here Smith,” Hitchcock directed something more up his alley in “Suspicion.” In a long shot the director can be seen dropping something into a mailbox We know that Joan Fontaine won Best Actress for “Suspicion.” We know that’s the only performance in a Hitchcock film to win an Oscar What we don’t know is if this second Hitchcock appearance is legitimate Is Hitchcock walking a horse across the frame early in the movie Why would somebody shop at a store called “Cut Rate Drugs.” Maybe that’s what Hitchcock’s character is talking about in his cameo He and a female extra stand in front of a store window of the aforementioned store but they are in the distance and can’t be overheard Hitchcock’s character in “Shadow of a Doubt” has a straight flush in his hand during a card game with a doctor and his wife the doctor tells him he doesn’t look very well he’s better off than any wealthy older woman who runs across Uncle Charlie This is one of the iconic Hitchcock cameos mostly because of the logistics of it this is a film about a group of people stranded on a lifeboat Why by having himself appear in an ad in a newspaper Hitchcock can be seen in the before-and-after photos for Reduco Obesity Slayer Sometimes when you are waiting for an elevator you have seen a bunch of people pouring out of it when it reaches you One of those people in “Spellbound” is Hitchcock He comes out of the elevator carrying a violin case before quickly disappearing A crowded elevator is an easy place for a cameo You can see Hitchcock front-and-center at Claude Rains’ extravagant get-together having a glass of champagne filled Hitchcock dropped the somewhat-forgotten “The Paradine Case.” Hey he’s carrying a cello while walking behind Peck's character you can see Hitchcock’s iconic profile on a flashing neon sign and it’s a long-distance shot so who knows There are those who say Hitchcock and a woman are walking down the street in the opening credits before the whole “one-shot” thing really kicks in Did you know Hitch did a movie set in Australia we didn’t either until we were putting this all together and you can definitely see the director on the steps of the Government House with two other gentlemen there is also a speculative cameo for the director Just a few minutes into “Under Capricorn” some say that he’s in a crowd scene the possible cameo comes with his back to the camera Hitchcock does a double-take to look back at Jane Wyman – Ronald Reagan’s first wife Sometimes Hitch wanted to be cute with his cameos You’ll never guess where Hitchcock has his cameo The guy seemed to enjoy playing men carrying instruments with him it seems like he’s trying to board the train carrying a cello Hitchcock got his cameo over with early in the film you see him walking along at the top of a long flight of stairs he’s out of the way and focused on directing this movie with a very exploitation-style title Hitchcock is in a photo on the wall of Ray Milland’s character from his Cambridge class reunion The dinner photograph features a handful of people “Rear Window” is all about Jimmy Stewart looking into people’s lives He peers into windows and spies on what’s going on he can be seen winding a clock while another man plays the piano By 1955 Hitchcock’s cameos were clearly a “thing.” In “To Catch a Thief” the camera literally pans over to show Hitch just sitting on a bus next to Cary Grant is a woman with a birdcage containing two birds One of Hitchcock’s 1955 cameos is front-and-center Hitchcock is way in the background walking down the street but by this point the films were in color and shot on better film stock how interesting is it that Hitchcock remade his own film and he’s definitely there in the back of a crowd watching some acrobats in Morocco At the beginning of “The Wrong Man,” we see a man in silhouette A lot of people consider “Vertigo” the best film ever This is another time where he’s walking and carrying an instrument Hitch doesn’t have much luck with public transit Hitchcock fails to get on board a New York City bus It closes its doors in his face and he’s left to wait for the next bus you can see Hitch through the window of the real estate company Marion Crane works for It’s definitely not the most ominous window shot in the film We don’t like the way Hitchcock treated Tippi Hedren while shooting “The Birds,” but this is a fun cameo Hitch brought in a couple of other members of his family for the fun the trio definitely stands out in this early appearance the director enters from the left of the screen and then straight-up looks at the camera like he’s Jim Halpert Hitchcock is seen in a hotel in Copenhagen in “Torn Curtain” with a baby on his lap During the time he is on screen the music changes “Funeral March of the Marionette” of course That’s also known as the theme song to “Alfred Hitchcock Presents.” Hitch pulls focus for a second in “Topaz,” even in a crowd scene He’s doing a bit of business in the background where he’s wheeled up to a man by a nurse only for him to stand up You can see him in “Frenzy,” a weird little film as a man in a crowd wearing a black suit and a bowler hat He’s also the only one who doesn’t applaud during the speech being given This is the only film where Hitch has two confirmed cameos Not long after he’s seen in that first crowd scene he pops up in another crowd scene He can be seen in a crowd as another murder victim’s body washes ashore The director stands next to a man talking about Jack the Ripper It just doesn’t have the same panache as when he was making this grisly little film in black and white The legend on his last legs is seen behind a glass door that reads “Registrar of Births and Deaths.” You can tell he’s angrily arguing with somebody Chris Morgan is a Detroit-based culture writer who has

Some of the most recognisable from classic Hollywood include Thelma Ritter, Walter Brennan, Edward Everett Horton, and Ward Bond, who also happened to be John Wayne’s best friend All of these actors were so familiar to audiences that whenever they cropped up in a movie it was almost like seeing a family member on screen rather than a complete stranger Alfred Hitchcock was never known for being an actor’s director He tended to blame them whenever a movie fared poorly with audiences and famously referred to them as ‘cattle.’ Some stars like Cary Grant adored him and believed him to be a top-notch collaborator However, like nearly every other director in Hollywood, Hitch had to hand it to the character actors he worked with. In a 1969 interview Keith Berwick asked the Master of Suspense if he had any favourite actors and instead of singling out a movie star like Grant “There are favourite character men I’ve in the past people like the marvellously understated Leo G Carroll who would measure the nod or turn of the head by fractions of an inch.” He appeared in six Hitchcock movies across nearly two decades – Rebecca but he inhabited them with precision and authority he plays the head of the ‘United States Intelligence Agency’ (a fictionalised CIA or FBI) who swoops in at the eleventh hour to rescue Cary Grant’s character Hitchcock wasn’t the only filmmaker to showcase Carroll’s skills The actor worked with luminaries like Vincente Minnelli became well known for his role as Mr Waverly He was far from the only character actor Hitchcock worked with Jessie Royce Landis appeared as Cary Grant’s mother and future mother-in-law in North by Northwest and To Catch a Thief and Edmund Gwenn appeared in four of his films including 1931’s The Skin Game and 1955’s The Trouble with Harry the character actor who appeared in the most Hitchcock films was Clare Greet starting with 1927’s The Ring and concluding with 1939’s Jamaica Inn I have to admit my surprise over having never stumbled across this latest unofficial holiday before considering how many I’ve read about over the years But apparently this one was just waiting for the perfect moment to reveal itself much like the final twist in the plotlines of the Master of Suspense’s films On March 12th we celebrate Alfred Hitchcock Day Why is this celebration held on March 12th I have no idea and none of my research revealed any birthday or other significance between Hitchcock and March 12th Perhaps it’s fitting to have the reason for this specific date remain a mystery Alfred Hitchcock was born in London on August 13 He started his career as a draftsman and advertising designer before finding his way into the film industry of London through his interest in photography; he became a title card designer for silent films before moving on to directing after only five years in 1926 and two years later they had a daughter after having made a number of movies in London Hitchcock and his family moved to Hollywood to further his career and pioneered a number of camera and editing techniques that we still see in films today You can borrow some of his best-known films from our libraries Or if you’re interested in learning more about the man behind the suspense or any number of books written about the man and his films (City Hall Drive renamed in honor of fallen officer Questions?

While certainly well-intended these shorter explanations would have been far less intrusive to the narrative flow in the form of a glossary and am glad it’s coming back to print in conjunction with

of the top-ranked squads in the Class 3A field and if they deliver on the high expectations they have for themselves the Bulldogs will bring home from Austin the program’s first-ever team state track championship Melodies from a certain Queen rock anthem may creep into one’s head when gauging the Hitchcock Bulldogs’ aspirations at this week’s state track and field championships — they want it all “We have a first-place mindset,” said Hitchcock senior Jared Dotson one of three Bulldogs athletes making their third visit to the state meet first in the 400 and first in the 4 by 4.” and if they deliver on Dotson’s proclamation “We’re going to win the whole meet and break the school record,” Hitchcock junior Brian Harris said Already making program history is the fact that all three of the Bulldogs’ boys relay teams — 4x100-meter 4x200 and 4x400 — have qualified for state and all three teams are expected to be strong contenders to win gold Cole Fisher and Jamarion Cooper; the 4x200 team will feature Cooper Harris and Taurian Fontenette; and on the mile relay unit will be Fontenette The 4x200 (1:26.7) and 4x400 (3:20.6) teams were regional champions while the 4x100 team set a school record time of 41.7 seconds with their state-qualifying third-place finish at regionals Also competing at state in the boys 400-meter run will be regional silver modalist Evans while Dotson qualified to run in the boys 100-meter dash after finishing third at regionals the team started making waves well before the regional meet with the group agreeing they began to jell as a group way back in March

(513) 897-5966 Copyright © 2025 Stubbs-Conner Funeral Home & Cremation Services classic cinema and film noir might not be a genre that springs to mind The actor is known for his full-throttle approach to performing stunts and leading role in action franchises such as Mission: Impossible and Top Gun becoming inseparable from his slightly excessive running style and terrifying action sequences in which he flings himself from all kinds of high places But while he has forged a reputation for this particular breed of cinema he also dipped his toes into a myriad of other genres throughout the course of his career working with the likes of Stanley Kubrick on his swan song Eyes Wide Shut and Paul Thomas Anderson on his San Fernando epic Cruise may have found equal fame for his roles in independent dramas his portrayal of Ethan Hunt in the spy series has become a landmark role within his filmography with the film being modelled after an infamous story created by none other than Alfred Hitchcock Whether it be the looming threat of uncertainty in Vertigo or the voyeurism in Rear Window Hitchcock pioneered a certain style of filmmaking that has gone on to influence generations of future directors with a timeless style and knack for suspense that many have attempted to replicate has modelled many stories based on the techniques created by Hitchcock who defined the thriller and put his own stamp on the detective story This is something that the creators of Mission: Impossible took inspiration from when coming up with the story of Ethan Hunt loosely basing the plot on Hitchcock’s 1946 film Notorious follows a US government agent called T.R Devlin who recruits Alicia Huberman as a spy in his quest to help bring the Nazis to justice as they begin to fall in love with one another Alicia is instructed to win the affections of a Nazi hiding out in Brazil with Devlin slowly watching the woman he loves becoming increasingly trapped in her undercover relationship Interestingly enough, the story bears many similarities to Mission: Impossible 2 with the film becoming the unofficial source material for the project and sharing many plot lines with the Hitchcock classic Both are about a government agent who is working against someone they have personal connections to also sharing similarly treacherous car sequences doomed central love triangles and story settings with many narrative threads that connect both stories many have speculated that he essentially modelled the plot on the events of Hitchcock’s film and replaced the dialogue almost existing as a scene-by-scene remake of the 1946 film While Towne has been shady about the film’s clear influences later denying that they shared any similarities it is a clear homage to Hitchcock and remains a nod to the original iterations of this genre and the director who did it best United Archives/Hulton Archive/Getty ImagesInverse RecommendsAlfred Hitchcock is known for his thrilling movies full of terror, from the shrieking strings of Psycho to the plane chase in North by Northwest But not everything he made had to be so high-octane he created a movie that is so terrifying not because of what happens The result is a psychological thriller that feels just as timeless as it does creepy utilizing now-dated attitudes around women to create a story of identity and legacy — and explore how sometimes the deadliest villains are the ones who don’t appear at all Rebecca is a tense thriller focusing on Maxim’s unseen first wife and her legacy haunting the new bride The main character of Alfred Hitchcock’s Rebecca is not Based on Daphne de Maurier’s novel of the same name the film follows a nameless “paid travel companion” (Joan Fontaine) who meets and falls in love with the mysterious but utterly charming Maxim de Winter (Laurence Olivier) They get married and he sweeps her away to Manderley de Winter doesn’t find her happy ever after there she finds the halls haunted by the absence of Rebecca and spends the entire movie girlbossing and gatekeeping the new wife into situations ranging from embarrassing to disturbing It all comes to a head when the true nature of Rebecca’s passing comes to light de Winter’s situation becomes truly life-threatening the fate of Manderley itself hangs in the balance Rebecca may be one of Hitchcock’s most melodramatic works but it still has his signature nail-biting thrills Rebecca is not really Hitchcock’s usual fare — he’s done his fair share of movies that lend more thriller than horror but this movie is focused on the gothic and melodramatic elements forcing the creepiness to stand on its own terms he also provides a stark portrait of attitudes towards women: we learn so much about Rebecca it’s the female characters who drive almost every beat in the plot: Maxim is there but all his actions — even the murderous ones — are done in reaction to the women in his life Rebecca may be one of the most timeless Hitchcock movies as it is the only one of his to win Best Picture and it even got a new remake for Netflix only five years ago But there’s no replacing the dreamy-yet-unsettling portrait Hitchcock paints of Manderley a ghostly estate you’ll want to revisit again and again April shows run gamut from jazz to classical to opera the University of Rhode Island’s Music Department is ramping up closing out the school year with concerts nearly every day or night in April.  It’s a lineup that includes everything from student recitals and small ensembles to performances by the Jazz Big Band,

McGowanUnratedRuntime: 2 hoursIn theaters October 25 But when My Name is Alfred Hitchcock came along I decided to give Cousins another chance (once I determined that he was not the narrator of this film) I will not be giving Cousins any more chances My Name is Alfred Hitchcock is frankly an embarrassing exercise when taken as a whole offering baffling choices and severely limited in its outlook.  the most bizarre choice: Cousins has written this entire film as if it is Alfred Hitchcock speaking to us from beyond the grave with Alistair McGowan providing a (serviceable) impression of the legendary director Did you ever want to hear Hitch talk about 5G phones one could say that using the director’s familiar voice is a way to channel his spirit into this retrospective of the man’s career If McGowan was impersonating Hitchcock’s voice while reading from the man’s letters or interviews in a Ken Burns fashion But no part of this documentary actually contains Hitchcock’s own words Cousins is attempting a sly trick on the audience: intellectual laundering allowing Cousins to wash his own ideas through a dead man’s voice.  I could maybe look beyond this approach if Cousins had anything truly insightful to say about Hitchcock or his films but the film pales in comparison to the many great video essayists working on YouTube and/or Nebula Cousins has assembled his essay into themes taking the audience through Hitchcock’s filmography by breaking them into thematic elements but is severely limited by his choice to use his deceased subject as a sock puppet and Cousins’ own ardently auteurist point of view While eventually Alma Reville and Edith Head are both named as collaborators not a single specific contribution is named giving the impression that Hitchcock’s movies emerged from his own head fully-formed no look at any of the actors or writers who worked with him and nothing to say of the public or critical reaction to the man’s work Auteur theory is a useful tool for film analysis then every choice looks like it was solely that of the director I’ve sat through a lot of boring lectures in my life and Hitchcock is far more fun–and far more complicated of a figure–than depicted here If you just want to spend time with the director himself the best thing I can say about My Name is Alfred Hitchcock is that it made me want to revisit Hitchcock’s films and seek out the ones I have yet to watch I’ve been watching a lot of Alfred Hitchcock Presents lately but the man’s own intros and outros for those stories offer more insight into his personality in less than 5 minutes per episode than Cousins can offer in two hours.  Thanks for visiting The use of software that blocks ads hinders our ability to serve you the content you came here to enjoy We ask that

Directed by Mark Cousins. At the Kendall Square Cinema Director Alfred Hitchcock: he doesn’t have much good to say about the current century with its trivial and distracting tech wonders Though I believe it impossible to ever tire of clips from movies by the title auteur the voice-over narrative in Mark Cousins’s My Name Is Alfred Hitchcock (2022) puts my faith to the test Compounding my irritation is the film’s conceit that these are the actual words of Hitchcock himself perhaps from some posthumous hell where great artists are punished for their hubris Hitchcock doesn’t have much good to say about the current century with its trivial and distracting tech wonders and which is represented here by generic Gen Z stand-ins “With your secrets and discretions on them one wonders what Hitchcock might have made of them had he lived long enough don’t you?” Which is about as deep and insightful as his commentary gets Perhaps the most poignant moment here is a scene from that latter film in which a widower gazes at the empty chair demonstrating that one of Hitchcock’s and cinema’s greatest virtues is the expressive power of absence and silence Peter Keough writes about film and other topics and has contributed to numerous publications.
