#135 - Rebecca

 


Ah, it's been too long - but we'll get thru a few good ones in the next few weeks I hope

Been moving, trying to get stuff done, etc - but anyways - here we go - I thought this was discontinued by the collection but maybe that changed recently - in any case it's on Bluray now with a ton of special features

What we have here is Hitchcock's first American film and the first of three we'll watch in this block.   I try to go out of my way to not inform myself of the plot on suspense films so that everything is agonizing and you never know what's coming.     I kinda feel like he's starting to come into the Alfred I know, as opposed to The Lady Vanishes or The 39 Steps, both of which we've covered here - (good lord, I had to reread the post I made 5 years ago to be sure I watched it - no memory of it) 

This one however, the lighting, suspense, story, were gripping - I'll go into the next two films the same way, I expect - waiting to see what the old fellow has got for us
