Plot with Jon Favreau. And who can blame him? Cummings is among the least convincing actors ever; Lloyd may have thought the condition contagious. This is transitional Hitchcock: His first U. Instead of the relatively edgy Madeleine Carroll and the great Robert Donat, Hitchcock has Cummings and Priscilla Lane as well as a dramatic conflict he would revisit his entire career — that of the wrongly accused against an only vaguely defined force of evil.
The foreign villains here are sadly one-note. But the standout performance comes from an unexpected source: Musical comedy star Doris Day in a rare dramatic role. She manages to impressively break the mold of the impassive Hitchcock blonde by nakedly expressing the agony of a mother whose child has been snatched away.
But of course, everything goes magnificently awry. Is it her fanciful imagination that runs away with her, as she uncovers his gambling and other secrets, or is her gut telling her to be afraid, very afraid? Hitchcock snakes us through the ebbs and flows of their evolving emotions, manipulating us at every hairspin turn.
Fontaine won the only Best Actress Oscar for the under-appreciated Hitchcock, who was nominated for five Oscars but had to settle for the Irving Thalberg honorary Oscar in Noteworthy among the cast are Naunton Wayne and Basil Radford as the comically effete cricket fans Caldicott and Charters, who conspire to keep the mystery train moving, lest they miss their match in Manchester.
Set against the glittering vistas of the French Riviera, Cary Grant and glam Grace Kelly are irresistibly charming in this airy, sun-soaked romantic caper. The couple banter over cold chicken parts; fireworks go off after they kiss. Grant also memorably makes love to Eva Marie Saint on a train…and clambers over craggy presidents at Mount Rushmore. Hitchcock had always wanted to shoot there, and developed the convoluted spy thriller with scriptwriter Ernest Lehman recommended by composer Bernard Herrmann, whose score starts off the movie against iconic Saul Bass titles , who set out to deliver the ultimate Hitchcock movie.
And so he did. At least, it may be the most entertaining. This frothy, witty caper, starring Robert Donat and Madeleine Carroll as unhappy allies in a race to secure military secrets, is essentially a feature-length MacGuffin, but it dances along with such fleet intelligence that the narrative is almost superfluous.
Judith Anderson turns in a wicked performance as Mrs. Danvers, the spinster housekeeper obsessed with the dead wife of her aristocratic master Max de Winter Laurence Olivier.

Black farce set in the New England woods in which various characters dig up and bury a body that just won't stay underground.
Not one of the master's best, but interesting nevertheless. Hitchcock's suspense film, drawn from Frederick Knott's stage play, chronicles an ex-tennis pro plotting to murder his wife, and the subsequent police investigation. Laid up with a broken leg, Slim Jim takes to neighbour-spotting with binoculars and camera at the ready. Before long, he's getting hot under the collar about the dirty deeds done across the yard.
Is it murder? Or just naked voyeurism? One of Hitch's darkest movies, with an intense, unrelenting claustrophobia derived from…. Quebec priest Clift hears a confession from a murderer, but discretion and duty lead him to become the prime suspect. Fascinating, wonderfully atheistic mid-period Hitchcock.
Classic Hitchcock about two strangers who concoct a plan to each murder someone on behalf of the other, thus committing the 'perfect crime'. A man suspected of murdering the husband of his mistress goes on the run.
Hitchcock examines the relationship between real life and performance in this London-set thriller featuring a great British cast. A young man sets of for Australia to reconnect with his childhood sweetheart, but she is no longer the girl he used to know.
Barrister Peck falls in love with the murder suspect he is defending, and so puts his own marriage at risk. Hitchcock's take on blind passion is rather bleak and the courtroom scenes are a bit laborious.
