OT<Old Hitchcock Movies
« on: March 04, 2015, 01:01:36 AM »
At the library today, I came across a four-pack of old A. Hitchcock movies.

Jamaica Inn with Charles Laughton, sounds good.

Sabotage, which, I don't know if perhaps I've seen a more recent remake??

The 39 Steps Believe it or not, I'm not certain it's the only one I've ever heard of, though, the time period is accurate.

Easy Virtue I believe I've heard that mentioned on this board (the movie, chowder heads, not somebody being floozy!!) lol

I think I'll watch Sabotage first.

Strange, I only recognize the title Sabotage, I know I've seen that, and 39 Steps of course.  I borrowed from a friens a big Hitchcock DVD collection that seemed to be everything pre-Hollywood, everything made in England.  That's the first half of his career, and Hollywood's the second half.  He remade two English ones for Hollywood:  The 39 Steps and The Man Who Knew Too Much. 

I got a lot out of that set of English films.  One was England's first "talkie", and right out of the box, Hitchcock was experimenting with sound.  A murderer subjectively mis-hears a conversation he's in, so that every word is unintelligible except the occassional word "knife"!

The description for Easy Virtue sounded good, but, it was a SILENT MOVIE!!

Patti...it was the 39 Steps

As a side note and sidestepping Hitchcock, the actress who played Bathia Mapes was in The Two Mrs. Carrolls...

Regarding Sabotage, there's Sabotage and Sabotuer, both by Hitchcock. 

Also, Sabatage is also a movie with Schwarzenhager from 2014, nothing to do with either above.
