That is truly hilarious. It’s old school marketing at its best. I can’t see M. Night Shyamalan or even a camera whore like Quentin Tarantino appearing in a trailer like that. For one, most people would get bored, and some would probably get upset that the director was insinuating that he was strangling women. Comedy. Justine: Thanks! When other people read about “lesser Hitchcock” they need to understand that while that may be true, a lot of these “lesser” movies are in a totally different class than something like Premonition or Saw II or most of the stuff on the new release shelf at Blockbuster. They’re way, way better. Pat: I liked <em>Frenzy</em> as much as you did. It's not a masterwork, but highly enjoyable for two of the reasons you so adroitly pointed out: the droll script, and the finesse of the camerawork. Thanks for your comment!

The wife of the inspector with the hideous gourmet dishes is a nice comedic touch. This movie also has one of my favorite camera shots - the long tracking? (I think it would be called) shot where the camera pulls out of the apartment, down the stairs and out into the street, somehow the perfect shot for that moment in the film.

What a grand idea! As for Frenzy, I'm inclined to agree with all that you say. It's a film I enjoy, especially for those "Hitchcock" moments but I can't really say I love it. It's certainly one of the lesser Hitchcock films I've seen. 31 Days of Hitchcock? What a grand idea!

One of the best I've ever seen. HITCH: Look, she's wearing my tie. <i>*retrieves tie from body, puts it on and looks at camera*</i> How do you like my tie. <i>*turns to right*</i> How do YOU like it?" <i>*cut to victim*</i> WOMAN: My God... the tie! AAAHHH!!! Also, the original trailer for Frenzy is great. One of the best I’ve ever seen.
