In Reply to: Re: "I Confess" - one of the better Hitchcock films posted by Victor Khomenko on February 7, 2005 at 07:24:31:
Well the " spy ring " was just a pretext like in all his film, and he himself never cared off, he call that a " Mac Guffin " or something like that.
But one could talk very long about him and there is ine book that show it all.
The one from Truffaut. In case you did not you should.
Malden is wonderful. Clift was very difficult with his Actor´s studio behaviour and his alcohol...Still he made a good figure. I think Hitch did not like him.
Follow Ups:
As patrickU points out, the Truffaut book is fantastic. Whatever your reservations about Hitchcock, Victor, you should pick a copy of it up and look it over. Many fascinating exchanges between the New Wave wunderkind and the old Hollywood pro.For example, Hitch admits Clift was difficult to work with in "I Confess", but adds that he loved the fact that Clift brought such conviction to his acting. He also liked the forward motion of Clift in his priestly garb...the robes swirling around his feet. He loved the shots of Clift moving forward, impelled towards a horrific fate.
Yes Victor MUST read this book. It will be the key for him to appreciate Hitch in his way.
