Hitch was superb. And get this, he never won a real Academy Award, just an honorary one. What a travesty.
Exactly. Damn Hollywood elites.
The Lady Vanishes and 39 Steps are reworked on video (Early English v. Hollywood) and the depth that the film historians relate on the DVD "Commentary" option is worth the price. I never realized before what a total art form film can be. The foreshadowing in his angles, the recurring themes from film to film, his commentaries on certain occupations--even spin-off's from his minor characters. I always thought his cameos were interesting--they were the least of it!
