Alfred Hitchcock Films

list source — 1 year ago

I noticed that “Mary” was removed from the list because it did not match the list source, but “Mary” was a feature-length Hitchcock film. It differs from the English-version “Murder” in more than language, it is a separate film. There is a DVD version available on both the French and German amazon.com site, and Hitchcock speaks of directing it in “Hitchcock” by Truffaut. I don’t see why it shouldn’t be on the list.

Also, I question the validity of the list source, as it doesn’t even get the chronology right – “Waltzes from Vienna” was made before “The Man Who Knew Too Much.” The list also leaves off “Bon Voyage” and “Aventure Malgache,” which may not be feature length, but are generally included in lists of Hitchcock’s repertoire.

Anyway, I think we should add “Mary” back to the list.

I agree with following the list source

Even if it is considered by some to be flawed.

There is a note on this list about making changes. If you disagree with the list as it is, you can always create your own.

There’s a version of the list with Mary on it here that you could switch to.
