Frenzy (1972 Alfred Hitchcock)

...because I couldn't talk Q into a Powell & Pressburger.

Last reviewed, well, here.

Aged 72, Hitch decided to teach his fellow directors a few valuable lessons about sound (which almost everyone ignored).

He also eschewed his usual cool blonde leading lady and any stars, coming up with something entirely different from his Hollywood films (and thus again proving Truffaut's label of him as 'the ultimate athlete of the cinema').
