Alfred Hitchcock....Some Short Interview Excerpts

[@contactbry]

Wow. These are some of the most insightful interviews into Hitch's existence as a filmmaker.

[@waynealexander1615]

Excellent...thank you for posting these interviews...great comments from the Master of Suspense!

[@darkprose]

"But every film I make IS a comedy." Absolutely. I hope he is enjoying his "clear horizon," while we enjoy his magisterial legacy.

You put together a nice collage of clips.

[@JustJokingYou]

Love this man...

[@JohanR888]

great. thanks for uploading.

[@PierluigiPuccini]

A showman, the greatest film director ever.

[@Reminisciences]

True genius.

[@darkprose]

Yes, I think so. He once said that he found Psycho very amusing -- I definitely think he meant it in a very dry kind of way. Murder and mayhem was often the subject of his jokes. It could be read another way, which is that the subject of his films were never terribly serious -- it was the medium, film itself, which is of absolute importance. Narrative, for him, was a necessary evil, but almost incidental. Like most things, it's an ambiguous claim of Hitch's.

[@darkprose]

I had to look back to what I had written -- how so about his films being comedies or the clear horizon thing?

[@Bestmanme08]

The Alfred Hitchcock Hour series in general is discussed in great new bio (All About Jeffrey Hunter) at amazon!

Q: How come you've never had any comedies? A: But every film I make is a comedy

[@relyanddefy]

how so?

[@relyanddefy]

for your first reading i do understand the concept of black comedy, but to outright say that murder is comedic is just stupid whoever says it. i like the idea of your second point.

[@Xendinthian]

Damn, he REALLY didn't like actors. "Have you ever been tempted to become an actor yourself?" "Nothing so low as that."

[@relyanddefy]

does he mean just black comedy?

[@relyanddefy]

bit up himself wasnt he?
