  201- The Trouble With Harry

  Sep 16, 202648 minS2

  Analysis and comedic take on the 1955 who done it directed by Alfred Hitchcock. The movie seems to be straight out of a Shakespearean comedy of errors lending itself to the absurdity of the plot as four characters at first individually and the en mass attempt to deal with Harry. You see the trouble with Harry is that he is dead. Although the movie was a favorite of Hitchcock, because of how the studio marketed the premise it did not do well at the box office except for a single theatre in Paris in which it sold out for six months straight. The movie marks the film acting debute of a young Shirley MacLaine. The technicolor captures the fall colors of Vermont at their peak. Oh, Yes. Hitchcock literally trys to slip into a shot unseen.

  111-The Birds

  Jul 16, 202652 minS1

  Analysis and comedic take on the 1963 horor thriller The Birds directed by Alfred Hitchcock. The movie stars Tippi Hedron (mother of Melanie Griffith) as a young woman of means who on a whim decides to deliver a pair of love birds to the little sister of a man she met briefly in a pet store in San Fransisco. The man played by Rod Taylor lives in a seaside community of Bodega Bay, which for an unknown reason is set upon by the local bird population with murderous intent shortly after the arrival of Hedron. Does this have something to do with the love birds? Hitchcock's appearance is early and easily recognizable so your vigilance can be lax.

  110-Blackmail

  Jun 15, 202639 minS1

  Analyisis and comedic take on the 1928 thriller Blackmail directed by Alfred Hitchcock. It was two...two...two films in one. If was first filmed as a silent film but Hitchcock's studio recently obtained sound equipment so key scenes were completely refilmed to make it a sound picture. Leading lady Anny Andra had a thick East European accent so a British actress stood out of camera site saying her lines into a microphone while Andra mouthed them on camera. The story follows the girlfriend of a police detective who kills a man that was attempting to rape her, and they find themselves blackmailed by a petty thief. The boyfriend steers the investigation toward the blackmailer and we have a chase climaxing in the domed library of a museum. The Hitchcock cameo is one of his funniest and longest, so stay vigilant because you don't want to miss a second of it.

  109-Stage Fright

  May 16, 202643 minS1

  Analysis and comedic take on the 1950 murder mystery directed by Alfred Hitchcock. The movie follows the attempts of Eve (Jane Wyman) to clear the name of accused murderer Jonathan (Richard Todd) by going undercover as the maid of Charlotte (Marlene Dietrich) the victem's wife. Eve is aided by her witty oddball father The Commodore (Alistair Sim). The film broaches the subject of truth and memory through the different stories and flashbacks shown of the inncident. The McGuffin is a bloody dress, and we are additionally entertained by the humerous supporting role of Chubby (Pat Hitchcock). The cameo is Hitchcock seemingly critiquing Wyman's performance, so stay vigilanr.

  108- Notorious

  Apr 16, 202642 minS1

  Analysis and comic take on the 1946 Spy Thriller Notorious directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Two of Hitchcock's favorite stars play the leads with CIA agent Cary Grant recruiting and subsquently falling in love with Ingrid Bergman the daughter of an American traitor who attempts to redeam her name going undercover by seducing and marrying Claude Raines a Nazi scientist operating in Brazil. Since the plot sounds operatic we have assigned Leitmotifs to main characters and plot situations. Hitchcock's cameo is one of his more amusing so stay vigilant.
