Stage Fright (1950) We here at Gods of Filmmaking are not big on throwing spoilers into our synopsis’, but a little plot twist conversation is important in this film’s discussion. So if you have not seen this film, and do not want your total enjoyment hindered, then you may want to consider moving on to the next film. The plot twist that I speak of is the picture’s opening sequence. These few minutes of film have been the topic of many a Hitchcock related debate. Basically, in the final few moments, the beginning proves to be a total lie, or a false perception. It seems that fan reaction is either love it or leave it. Personally, we didn’t really care for it. The idea is clever, but the deception didn’t hit as hard as it should have to make a strong effect. But many other fans argue that it is brilliant slight of hand. Anyway, the story is about a man who has been framed for the murder of his lover’s husband. His true girlfriend harbors him from the authorities and starts her own search for the real killer. It’s completely based in the theater and nearly every character is an actor playing a number of different roles. This project is one of only two films that Hitchcock produced in England after he came to America (the other being Frenzy). So in summary; this film is nearly enjoyable, but mostly forgettable. (Directed by Alfred Hitchcock) |
