Under the Capricorn, one of HitchÂ´s most underrated film....

It was the first film of his own production. Certainly not one of his best, but still a very good movie. And beautifully played! and how! Cotten is magnificent, not by prefered actor, but I must just bow under his performence, Michael Wielding is wonderful too, even Ingrid Bergman could cop with her role, even less so. She want to help Hitch ( at the time she was THE star ) in appearing in his first independ film. A nice gesture.
The film music is very romantic and very well conducted by Levy, who was already by his side in his " English period ".
HÃ©las, the studio builing donÂ´t stand up to today standart bur never the less it reach some Shakespear high in his tragedy.
Heartly recommendÃ©!

Somehow I never developed love for his BIG films. But "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" is another matter - Victor Khomenko 18:47:27 03/17/04 (1)
