Event Description
Lehman Stages and Emerging Pictures present HI-DEF HITCH: 8 Hitchcock Classics on the Big Screen for the First Time in High Definition!
FRENZY (1972)
Alfred Hitchcock’s penultimate film, written by Anthony Shaffer (who also wrote “Sleuth”), this delightfully grisly little tale features an all-British cast minus star wattage, which may have accounted for its relatively slim showing in the States. Jon Finch plays a down-on-his-luck Londoner who is offered some help by an old pal (Barry Foster). In fact, Foster is a serial killer the police have been chasing–and he’s framing Finch. Which leads to a classic Hitchcock situation: a guiltless man is forced to prove his innocence while eluding Scotland Yard at the same time. Spiked with Hitchcock’s trademark dark humor, Frenzy also features a very funny subplot about the Scotland Yard investigator (Alec McCowen) in charge of the case, who must endure meals by a wife (Vivien Merchant) who is taking a gourmet-cooking class. |
