The entire interview is an historic document for modern filmmakers. Hitchcock didn't mention that he originally wanted no music in the shower scene. Bernard Herrmann scored it anyway and played it for Hitchcock. He changed his mind. That shrill, piercing violin cue has become iconic in cinema history.

There's that great story about "Lifeboat" where all the actors had to climb a ladder to get in the tank for filming and Hume Cronyn complained to Hitch about having to go up the ladder behind Tallulah who never wore underwear. Hitch said "I don't know if this is a matter for the costume department, make-up, or hairdressing." LMAO!

@michaelerickson985 3 года назад

Hitchcock's comment is ridiculous, if indeed he said this, for surely he must have known that the solution is for the costume department to provide Miss Tallulah Bankhead a pair of underwear. Neither the make-up nor the hairdressing personnel would have had underwear for her since they do not deal with articles of clothing.

I love these. Thank you so much for sharing them. Just great。 At his best, Alfred Hitchcock's impressionistic approach to film, especially editing film, was a kind of trompe l'oeil, or whatever the equivalent is on the central nervous system. The combination of SFX/underscoring, lighting, framing and ultimately cutting has such an unnerving effect on the viewer.

It seems to me that a Hitchcock movie required some imagination on the audiences part. He (Hitchcock) provided the stimulus. And he was expecting that you (the audience) had enough imagination to provide the details. But not today. TMI is state of the art. Art has been taken down to low brow status. People in Hollywood believe that unless you club the audience over the head and make it vile...you haven't done your job.

@rickmanalwayss 4 года назад

He actually said that how he did it was that he put the fear in the mind of the audience in an interview. He didn't believe in putting it point blank in front of you, he wanted you to get yourself worked up. We need more of that in horror, like you said.

@lilchaos4792 4 года назад

Good to know

@michaelerickson985 3 года назад

Janet Leigh makes it very clear that Hitchcock himself directed every shot of the "shower scene." Moreover, Saul Bass storyboarded the scenes based upon specific instructions from Hitchcock as to what he wanted to see in each frame. As such, Hitchcock himself directed the storyboarding which Bass executed very capably. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-82vOLLMeOuQ.html
