Alfred Hitchcock
‘Rebecca’ (1997) is more faithful to du Maurier’s gothic tragedy
On a Hitchcock kick (TV review): It’s a tad less masterful than the master’s version, but this longer, faithful adaptation isn’t lost in the smoke.
Hitchcock stumbles into sound era with ‘Juno and the Paycock’ (1930)
On a Hitchcock kick (Movie review): Although Sean O’Casey’s play is well-regarded, Hitchcock’s adaptation is rightly cited by many as his worst film.
Hitchcock mulls truth, POV, memory in hourlong episodes (1957-62)
On a Hitchcock kick (TV review): Hitchcock directs one episode each of three NBC series he produced: “Suspicion,” “Startime” and “The Alfred Hitchcock Hour.”
Be very suspicious of the 1988 remake of ‘Suspicion’
On a Hitchcock kick (Movie review): It’s Curtin’s for us if we try to get any pleasure from an adaptation that doesn’t feature Grant and Fontaine.
‘Alfred Hitchcock Presents’ Season 3 (1957-58) goes out like a lion
On a Hitchcock kick (TV review): The director teams with writer Roald Dahl for one of TV’s great instances of macabre humor, “Lamb to the Slaughter.”
‘Spellbound by Beauty’ (2008) goes deeper into Hitchcock’s dark side
On a Hitchcock kick (Book review): If you want to keep your Hitchcock journey fun, avoid this cold (but important) exploration of the director’s troubled nature.
Wood’s ‘Man Who Knew Too Much’ (2015) a pleasant analysis
On a Hitchcock kick (Book review): This monograph is not a core bio, but it’s a nice garnish for people who know the Hitchcock basics.
‘Dial ‘M’ for Murder’ (1981) remains gripping in Plummer’s TV movie
On a Hitchcock kick (Movie review): The remake is inferior in most ways, but it serves to remind us how ingenious Frederick Knott’s story is.
‘Alfred Hitchcock Presents’ Season 2 (1956-57) explores flickering morals
On a Hitchcock kick (TV review): The Master of Suspense directs two stories of murder cover-ups and one of an overactive imagination.
