Victor,

"I Confess" is an outstanding Hitchcock.

Hitchcock was, for me, one of the earliest examples of consciousness of directors. My parents were both big fans of his and as a little kid, "The Birds" was really affecting- really caught my attention. This is when I first heard of this fellow that put the whole thing together. Learning that directors were as or more inportant than the stars came from this and by my teens I started to search out accoding to director and latched onto Truffaut and Bunuel esp. This all originated with Hitchcock consciousness.

I tend to like his slightly less "Hollywood" work more, though I'm sure I like "North b. NW" more than you do. I do like Hitchcock's theme of the innocent mistakenly caught up in intrigue that he returned to over and over. I do wish though, "The Man Who Knew Too Much" ('56 version not the'34) had had a different cast- the "Que sera sera scene" makes me a bit dizzy just thinking about it..

One I find more enjoyable than I should is "The Trouble with Harry". There's something about the picture postcard New England village and the eccentric denizens treating this murder treated so amazingly casually that I find wonderful- a Dali in motion, serenely horrifying in the charming and happy mood.

Cheers,

Bam
