Notes — 1 year ago

This list contains 53 films. Here are some notes about a few films on the list:

12. Mary: The German version of Murder! It was shot at the same time as the English version, but with German actors.

17. The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934) The original. Shot in black and white. Stars Nova Pilneam and Peter Lorre.

43. The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956) Hitch’s remake, starring James Stewart and Doris Day. It was shot in VistaVision and Technicolor.

Hitch’s Other Work:

Hitch also shot some scenes for Number 13, his first directing job in 1922, but the film was never finished and the footage is considered lost.

All copies of The Mountain Eagle, Hitch’s 1927 film, are believed lost, but you can find stills in Truffaut’s Hitchcock as well as Dan Aulier’s Hitchcock’s Notebooks.

The 1930 film Elstree Calling is a series of musical comedy vignettes. Hitch directed a small bit for this.

Bon Voyage and Aventure Malgache were propaganda films Hitch directed in 1944. Both are in French and each last about thirty minutes.

Alfred Hitchcock Presents ran from 1955 to 1962. Hitchcock introduced each of the 268 half-hour episodes, but directed only a handful.

The Alfred Hitchcock Hour was essentially the same show, but had hour-long episodes. It ran from 1962 to 1965. Again, Hitch introduced each episode, but only directed one.

I deleted “The Mountain Eagle,” as no known copies exist, added “Bon Voyage/Aventure malgache,” and re-ordered the rest for a chronological listing.
