Alfred Hitchcock Signature Collection: 9/7! (1 Viewer)

Not everything he touched turned to gold. IMO, about half the set is worth at most a rent. Is anyone really dying to own Mr. & Mrs. Smith?

I am looking forward to owning two of what are commonly considered among Hitchcock's lesser titles, viz., Stage Fright and I Confess. They are personal favorites of my family. I also look forward to all the other titles in the set, as I currently own none of them on DVD. So I guess to each his own.

I'm not dying to own any of them, just looking forward to it.

Yes. I am.

There are titles in here I don't want - I Confess and The Wrong Man, and I wouldn't buy them on their own (no matter how cheap), but that doesn't mean they're not worth $10 to anyone who does like them.

I am. Is there another decent quality Carole Lombard release on DVD in North America besides the Criterion "My Man Godfrey"?

I can now retire my SVHS copies of I, Confess, Stage Fright and Mr. & Mrs. Smith, all of which I am eager to own on DVD.

It's a really underrated film. Perhaps it's not in the same league as McCarey and Capra comedies, but it's still a good, funny movie.

I think that since Hitchcock was able to do comedy so well in his regular suspense films, a real comedy would not suffer from quality. For example, some of the funnier scenes (like the auction and court room scenes) in North By Northwest rival entire comedies in terms of hilarity. Heck, even Hitchcock regarded his films as comedies!

Finally up for preorder at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0002HOES0/

If you can get STL, you'll pay only about $63 for the whole shebang, approximately 7 bucks per title (including the 2-discer). Sweetness...

I caught this on TCM recently and it indeed was a very enjoyable movie although I agree with you that it is second tier Hitchcock. One forgets that Hitch directed it because it was such a departure style wise. I've not seen Stage Fright, I Confess, or Wrong Man and I'm really looking forward to seeing those. In my opinion, second tier Hitchcock is still heads and shoulders above most everything else.
