Alfred Hitchcock


Today is the anniversary of the death in 1980 of Alfred Hitchcock. Senses of Cinema has a lengthy, foot-noted article. The BBC has excerpts from audio interviews. PBS devotes part of its American Masters site to him. Images Journal has several articles. Bright Lights Film Journal has photos highlighting Hitchcock's recurring themes. FilmReference.com has an article and extensive resource lists. BFI has a print interview from 1967. Salon.com takes a contrarian view, saying he "may be the prime example of a film legend whose reputation has come to overpower any realistic view of his work." There's a big Alfred Hitchcock Facebook page. FilmStudiesForFree has embedded a 1973 6-part video interview with Tom Snyder and Hitchcock.

I have blog posts on the following Hitchcock films, many of which are viewable online:

Number Seventeen (1932)
The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934)
The 39 Steps (1935)
Secret Agent (1936)
Sabotage (1936)
The Lady Vanishes (1938)
Jamaica Inn (1939)
Rebecca (1940)
Shadow of a Doubt (1944)
Lifeboat (1944)
Notorious (1946)
Strangers on a Train (1951)
Dial M for Murder (1954)
Psycho (1960)
