Alfred Hitchcock

[HitchcockScholar]

Great stuff!

Double Take

Time: 01:10 to 03:00 (1 hour and 50 minutes long).

When: Saturday 2nd October on Film4

Johan Grimonprez's film is a disquisition on the Cold War and its history but he uses a montage of Alfred Hitchcock's introductions to Alfred Hitchcock Presents... along with a lookalike to present his thesis. Which is about duplicity and macguffins. As Hitch interacts with, among others, Nixon, JFK and Khrushchev, so the politics and individuals of the Cold War hostilities are bought into focus.

Thanks for that information HitchcockScholar! I'll certainly record it.

Gosh, thanks for that!



Aventure Malgache and his other WW2 short (forgotten the title) are on Sky Arts in the next week. I've never seen them before, so am quite keen.

The other one is called Bon Voyage. I think you'll find them interesting as curiousity pieces, but with little sign of the hand of the great man.
