  • Silent Films of Alfred Hitchcock
    The Hitchcock 9 Silent Films of Alfred Hitchcock Justin Mckinney Presented at the National Gallery of Art The Lodger (British Film Institute) and the American Film Institute Silver Theatre Alfred Hitchcock’s work in the British film industry during the silent film era has generally been overshadowed by his numerous Hollywood triumphs including Psycho (1960), Vertigo (1958), and Rebecca (1940). Part of the reason for the critical and public neglect of Hitchcock’s earliest works has been the generally poor quality of the surviving materials for these early films, ranging from Hitchcock’s directorial debut, The Pleasure Garden (1925), to his final silent film, Blackmail (1929). Due in part to the passage of over eighty years, and to the deterioration and frequent copying and duplication of prints, much of the surviving footage for these films has become damaged and offers only a dismal representation of what 1920s filmgoers would have experienced. In 2010, the British Film Institute (BFI) and the National Film Archive launched a unique restoration campaign called “Rescue the Hitchcock 9” that aimed to preserve and restore Hitchcock’s nine surviving silent films — The Pleasure Garden (1925), The Lodger (1926), Downhill (1927), Easy Virtue (1927), The Ring (1927), Champagne (1928), The Farmer’s Wife (1928), The Manxman (1929), and Blackmail (1929) — to their former glory (sadly The Mountain Eagle of 1926 remains lost). The BFI called on the general public to donate money to fund the restoration project, which, at a projected cost of £2 million, would be the largest restoration project ever conducted by the organization. Thanks to public support and a $275,000 dona- tion from Martin Scorsese’s The Film Foundation in conjunction with The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the project was completed in 2012 to coincide with the London Olympics and Cultural Olympiad.

  • Fear, Confusion and Stage Fright
    Film-Philosophy 11.1 June 2007 Hitchcock and Hume Revisited: Fear, Confusion and Stage Fright John Orr University of Edinburgh This essay is a return to the scene of a crime. In my recent book on Hitchcock (Orr 2005, 26- 52) I made an outrageously general argument for the affinity between Hitch’s narratives and David Hume’s reasoning about human nature. For something so speculative, you expect cracks to appear pretty soon. But my impulse since the book’s appearance has not been to feel I exaggerated – which I’m sure I did – but to sense that I did not go far enough. There was more to be said about this oblique, long distance liaison down the centuries and I now feel it best said through a film which I had not discussed at all, partly because I shared the general feeling that this was not one of Hitch’s most auspicious films. The acting was uneven, the tone whimsical, the plot often cluttered and it suffered, or so I thought, from that general uncertainty of touch that sometimes characterised Hitchcock’s return to England. But then again his short wartime film Bon Voyage (1944) has been underestimated, as were in different ways Under Capricorn (1949), the remade The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956) and later Frenzy (1972). As Michael Walker has pointed out (1999: 199-202), Stage Fright (1950) has a structural complexity, a narrative coherence and a textual density missing from his 1930s films like Young And Innocent (1937). In other words, it brings back to London in 1950 the innovating aspects of Hitchcock’s Hollywood aesthetic of the 1940s.

  • Dial M for Murder' – Suspense with a Capital S Erin Hunsader , Advocate Correspondent 10:07 A.M
    http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/story/news/local/door-co/entertainment/2015/07/11/review-dial-murder-suspense-capital/30007325/ Review: 'Dial M for Murder' – suspense with a capital S Erin Hunsader , Advocate correspondent 10:07 a.m. CDT July 11, 2015 Director Alfred Hitchcock was quoted as saying, "In films murders are always very clean. I show how difficult it is and what a messy thing it is to kill someone." And things get messy for Tony, the main character in the suspense- filled thriller "Dial M for Murder" as Peninsula Players' 80th season continues this summer. Playwright Frederick Knott's best-known effort made its debut on Broadway in 1952, and Hitchcock turned it into a classic film two years later. While the play is decades old, it still has the power to bring people to the edge of their seats. The time period is set in the theater before the show begins, with music from the 1950s playing as visitors find their seats. One glance at the set, and it's clear we're in a wealthy couples apartment. Tony has grown accustomed to the lavish lifestyle made possible by his heiress wife, Margot. Convinced Margot is having an affair, Tony, But there's trouble in paradise, with the opening scene begins a sinister scheme for her demise laced with treachery and between Margot (Katherine Keberlein) and Max (Matt blackmail. From left, Neil Friedman and Katherine Kaberlein. Holzfeind), revealing they are having an affair. As they Frederick Knott’s taut thriller “Dial M for Murder” now on stage at debate whether or not to tell her husband, Tony (Jay Whittaker), he comes home unexpectedly.

The harbour water, lively with sun; the many windmills, leisurely bestirring themselves; the ships at anchor, hung with marine laundry, ensigns trailing; the smoke of domestic chimneys: all these things contrived to lend Sydney an air of expectancy rather than despair.

Sanderson: Misreading Hitchcock Misreading Hitchcock: Masked Signs in Young and Innocent I. INTRODUCTION Semiotics is in principle the discipline studying everything which can be used in order to lie Umberto Eco, Theory of Semiotics The plot of Alfred Hitchcock’s Young and Innocent (1937) is familiar, and like its title it comes to us in well-delineated, straightforward parts.1 A man is wrongly accused of a murder, and flees the authorities while trying to prove his innocence. Gradually he charms a female accomplice, and concludes by finding the true killer. Hitchcock had used this basic structure in his 1935 film The 39 Steps, and continued to develop it through to films such as North by Northwest (1959). In spite of its generic narrative and status as a minor work, however, Young and Innocent presents a deeply engaging play of signage and signification. The film has a symmetrical structure, which will dictate the structure of my reading.

    Strangers No More: The Initial Hitchcock Murder Vlad DIMA Union College, [email protected] Special Issue: 1 (2011) | ISSN 2158-8724 (online) | DOI 10.5195/cinej.2011.1 | http://cinej.pitt.edu Abstract This article analyzes the various levels of violence and graphic detail in the initial Hitchcock murder scenes. Through a detailed close reading of these scenes from Blackmail, Strangers on a Train, and Frenzy, I expose the different and increasing levels of intensity at which sadism functions throughout Hitchcock’s career, and I suggest that the audience is stuck at a one-stage sadistic level as opposed to the typical Freudian model.

This journal is published by the University Library System of the University of Pittsburgh as part of its D-Scribe Digital Publishing Program and is cosponsored by the University of Pittsburgh Press. Strangers no More: The Initial Hitchcock Murder If we compare murder scenes from distinct periods in Alfred Hitchcock’s oeuvre, we find a sharp gradation in the intensity of visual depiction from the first talkie, Blackmail (1929), to Strangers on a Train (1951), and to his penultimate film, Frenzy (1972), which essentially marks the end of the director’s career.1 We go from a long shot of curtains that hide the murder in the first film, to a paradoxical close-up of glasses with a small vignette reflection of the murder in the second, and we end with close-ups of the actual people, both the victim and the aggressor, in the third film.

  • Introduction to One of These Episodes, Hitchcock Informs the Audi- Ence That the Music Is Written Fi Rst, Then the Images and Story Are Found to Fi T It
    1 I n t r o d u c t i o n K . J . D o n n e l l y a n d S t e v e n R a w l e or a decade from 1955, Alfred Hitchcock worked almost exclusively with F one composer: Bernard Herrmann. From Th e Trouble with Harry (1955) to the bitter spat surrounding Torn Curtain (1966), the partnership gave us some of cinema’s most memorable musical moments, taught us to stay out of the shower, away from heights and never to spend time in corn fi elds. Consequently, fascina- tion with their work and relationship endures fi ft y years later. Th is book brings together new work and new perspectives on the relationship between Hitchcock and Herrmann. Featuring chapters by leading scholars of Hitchcock’s work, the volume examines the working relationship between the two and the contribu- tion that Herrmann’s work brings to Hitchcock’s idiom, as well as expanding our understanding of how music fi ts into that body of work. Th e goal of these analyses is to explore approaches to sound, music, collaborative authorship and the dis- tinctive contribution that Herrmann brought to Hitchcock’s fi lms. Consequently, the book examines these key works, with particular focus on what Elisabeth Weis ( 1982 : 136) called ‘the extrasubjective fi lms’ – Vertigo (1958), Psycho (1960), Th e Birds (1963) – and explores Herrmann’s palpable role in shaping the sonic and musical landscape of Hitchcock’s work, which, the volume argues, has a consider- able transformative eff ect on how we understand Hitchcock’s authorship.

In preparing for this collection, all the papers have been revised and several have been considerably developed to provide additional context, argument and analysis. Apart from changes in format introduced to create a unified document (and in one or two cases to integrate images), the papers appear as the writers submitted them. The papers are arranged in the order of the symposium programme, with one exception. Bertrand Tavernier was unfortunately unable to attend and his paper is the first the reader will encounter.

  • The Genius of Hitchcock Part One: August 2012
    12/44 The Genius of Hitchcock Part One: August 2012 Special events include: x Tippi Hedren in Conversation x TV Preview + Q&A: THE GIRL – new BBC2 drama telling the full story of Hitchcock’s relationship with Tippi Hedren x Camille Paglia: Women & Magic in Hitchcock x The Lodger + composer Nitin Sawhney in Conversation Over the course of almost three months, Hitchcock’s surviving body of work as director will be presented in its entirety at BFI Southbank. The films will be grouped together, taking inspiration from one his most famous films to present the 39 Steps to the Genius of Hitchcock to help audiences increase their understanding of this complex and fascinating director. The first part of the BFI Southbank season in August, with special thanks to Sky Movies/HD, focuses on the first 12 steps, beginning with The Shaping of Alfred Hitchcock. The recent discovery in New Zealand of several reels of The White Shadow, scripted by Hitchcock, made international headlines. But other material, too, survives from his apprentice years, prior to The Pleasure Garden. In The Shaping of Hitchcock: Reflections on The White Shadow author Charles Barr will present a richly illustrated narrative of Hitchcock’s formative years, as an introduction to a screening of the thus-far incomplete The White Shadow (1924). BFI Future Film presents The DIY Thriller Film Fortnight to accompany the second step: The Master of Suspense. This course will give participants aged 15-25 the chance to make short thriller films inspired by Hitchcock. The Evolution of Style will look at the development of Hitchcock’s style – described by the director as ‘the first true Hitchcock film’, The Lodger (1926) introduces themes that would run through much of Hitchcock’s later work.
