  • Sabotage on Talking Pictures TV Directed by Alfred Hitchcock
    Talking Pictures TV www.talkingpicturestv.co.uk Highlights for week beginning SKY 328 | FREEVIEW 81 Mon 23rd March 2020 FREESAT 306 | VIRGIN 445 Sabotage on Talking Pictures TV Directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Stars: Sylvia Sidney, Oscar Homolka, John Loder, Desmond Tester and Joyce Barbour. Hitchcock’s adaptation of Joseph Conrad’s novel The Secret Agent is one of the best of the thrillers he made in Britain. In 1936, the UK was already suspicious of Hitler’s military build-up and England’s film-makers responded to the German threat by making films that warned British citizens of the impending danger. Oskar Homolka plays a London film-theatre owner who leads a secret life as a terrorist. His wife doesn’t suspect him of any wrong-doing, but she’s picked up enough information about her husband’s activities to arouse the interest of a government agent. Hitchcock’s ruthless direction was controversial, but the film was widely praised on its release. Sabotage airs on Friday 27th March at 4:10pm Monday 23rd March 4:05pm Wednesday 25th March 5:35pm The Fast Lady (1963) They Met in the Dark (1943) Comedy, directed by: Ken Annakin.

  • Notes and References
    Notes and References CHAPTER 1 To provide an intellectual and cultural framework for examining Carol Reed's films, a history of the British cinema from its origins through to the Second World War is offered in this chapter. Although Reed began directing in 1935, 1939 seemed a tidier, more logical cut-off point for the survey. All the information in the chapter is synthesized from several excellent works on the subject: Roy Armes's A Critical History of the British Cinema, Ernest Betts' The Film Business, Ivan Butler's Cinema in Britain, Denis Gifford's British Film Catalogue, Rachel Low's History of the British Film, and George Perry's The Great British Picture Show.

Des premiers films anglais du jeune réalisateur aux chefs-d’œuvre américains, sans oublier les titres pour la télévision, Alfred Hitchcock, cinéaste prolifique et inventif, a fait preuve d’un style unique et, tout au long de sa carrière, a joué avec les plus intimes émotions de ses spectateurs. Plus qu’aucun autre cinéaste, Alfred Hitchcock a été la milieu des années 1910 : une succession discursive des victime consentante d’un succès qui s’est avéré mondial, images et la mise en parallèle de deux actions concur- prisonnier de son immense réputation et de l’attente rentes ou rivales, dont la coïncidence relance et résout renouvelée d’un public qu’il a lui-même créé. C’est la une attente, une angoisse ?

  • Hitchcock: Past and Future Presents a Selection of the Academic Papers Presented at the Conference
    HITCHCOCK This new collection of writings on Alfred Hitchcock celebrates the remarkable depth and scope of his artistic achievement in film. It explores his works in relationship both to their social context and to the traditions of critical theory they continue to inspire. The collection draws on the best of current Hitchcock scholarship. It features the work of both new and established scholars such as Laura Mulvey, Slavoj ¿iÀek, Peter Wollen and James Naremore, and displays the full diversity of critical methods that have characterized the study of this director’s films in recent years. The articles are grouped into four thematic sections: “Authorship and aesthetics” examines Hitchcock as auteur and explores particular aspects of his artistry such as his use of the close-up, the motif of the double, and the neglected topic of humor. “French Hitchcock” considers the influential reception of the filmmaker’s work by the critics at Cahiers du cinéma in the 1950s, as well as the more recent engagement with Hitchcock by French philosopher Gilles Deleuze. “Poetics and poli- tics of identity” investigates how personal and social identity is both articulated and subverted through style and form in Hitchcock’s works. The concluding section, “Death and transfigura- tion,” addresses the manner in which the spectacle and figuration of death haunts the narrative universe of Hitchcock’s films, in particular his subversive masterpiece, Psycho. Richard Allen is author of Projecting Illusion (1995). He has edited numerous books on the philosophy and aesthetics of film including Hitchcock: Centenary Essays (1999) with Sam Ishii- Gonzáles. He is also author of a forthcoming book on Hitchcock entitled Hitchcock and Cinema: Storytelling, Sexuality and Style.
