unlabelledView post →Watching Rear Window, my fave Hitch movie, once again. And I never fail to gasp at how stunning Grace Kelly's entrance into the movie is. Also also, Thelma *BY GOD* Ritter. One of the best character actresses to do it. Not that it's important, but it feels criminal that she never got Oscar gold. 🎥
unlabelledView post →About ten years ago, I decided I would review the silents on Alfred Hitchcock's list of top ten best film that he offered to a journalist in 1939. Mystery? Suspense? Murder? A little but Hitch really went in for sentimental romance and Cecil B. DeMille! moviessilently.com/2015/06/30/t...

unlabelledView post →If you mixed DUEL (1971) with THE STORY OF O (1975) and KALIFORNIA (1993) you would have something approaching Pasquale Festa Campanile's 1977 exploitation shocker, HITCH HIKE. This film is bat shit crazy in the best way possible. No notes.

unlabelledView post →Something rather brilliant. Five minute Hitch-Hiker film. Rachel Parris is The Book, Tom Bell is Ford, Greig Johnson is Arthur / Jeltz. Everyone nails it beautifully. Ford’s inability to know how to react to Arthur’s upset is superb. I love this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-431...

Picture #49 (of 53) in my complete Hitch rewatch may be star-powered, but isn't particularly top tier (except for Newman shirtless). After 11 months, only 4 more films to go! Been a journey. #filmsky 📽

unlabelledView post →My ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 review of FRENZY boxd.it/cpKAsj In penultimate film, Hitch returns to common "wrong man" themes. When accused of murder, don't go to actual killer for help! 🤣 Hitch at most playful, graphic & gleefully nasty. Tame by modern standards, but fun seeing aging genius get kinky. #filmsky 📽

unlabelledView post →#NowWatching MARY (1931). Director: Alfred Hitchcock. Alfred Abel, Olga Tschechowa. Picture #48 (of 53) in my complete Hitch rewatch is a bit of an outlier that some don't count.

Henry Fonda stars in Hitch’s only ripped-from-the-headlines crime caper, cited by Scorsese as a major influence on his 1976 film TAXI DRIVER.
