Both breezy and unexpectedly weird, "Stage Fright" features the famous "false flashback" sequence and takes us on a ride through post-war London. Jane Wyman stars as a naive young actress who spies on a diva (Marlene Dietrich at her juiciest) t
"Under Capricorn" is a true oddity: an old-fashioned Gothic melodrama which experiments with long takes; a movie set in Australia but visibly shot in a studio; a financial failure that is claimed by some to be one of the master's greatest works
Hitchcock's singular achievement – his first film in color, his first independently produced Hollywood picture and a narrative composed exclusively of long takes – is also his boldest adventure with homosexual themes (which appear, as is obviou
Alfred Hitchcock's last collaboration with David O. Selznick was not fondly remembered by the most important parties involved (Gregory Peck reportedly hated the film), but it is still a fascinating example of the power dynamics in classical Hol

Small-town America turns sinister in this unforgettable gem co-scripted by the esteemed playwright Thornton Wilder. The film stars Joseph Cotten as Uncle Charlie, one of the most complex Hitchcock villains, and Teresa Wright as his initially un
Considered to be the first Hitchcock film which makes significant use of American landscapes and places, "Saboteur" is an exemplary wartime thriller: a slick piece of propaganda turned into a curious and not necessarily reassuring vision of Ame
Hitchcock's first film with Cary Grant and one of his strangest works, "Suspicion" features an Oscar-winning performance of Joan Fontaine and still remains a puzzle for viewers. Is Grant's character a killer? Or are we just getting paranoid? Jo
Hitchcock's only screwball comedy is a treat for those who like to see the director doing something unexpected and slightly beyond his comfort zone. Carole Lombard and Robert Montgomery play a New York couple who suddenly discovers that their m
Finally Foreign Correspondents are discussing... Hitchcock's "Foreign Correspondent", starring Joel McCrea, Laraine Day, Herbert Marshall and George Sanders. This spectacular and big-budget spy story, made in 1940, competed with "Rebecca" at th
