    Vertigo: The Artist As A Filmmaker

    August 25, 2012 /

    As I’ve mentioned before, I didn’t see many contemporary films/movies in my youth. Starting at about age 10 through my 20’s, I spent much of my viewing hours watching old movies, with Hitchcock’s Rebecca, Marnie, Vertigo & Notorious at the top of my list of favorites.

    The Lesser Known Works of Alfred Hitchcock

    However, when I was sent this guest posting, it seemed to be a great fit to my feelings of Hitchcock withdrawal. Of the list, I have seen Lifeboat, Torn Curtain and Stage Fright, but I watched them as a teenager and other than Tallulah Bankhead's overly dramatic persona in Lifeboat, I really can't remember enough about these films to make comments...
