| 11. |  | Rope
from Warner Bros. Pictures
Price: $14.99
Customer Review:
Hitchcock's first color film was this stage adaptation pieced together from only about a dozen takes. It's similar to Dial M, but with a psychological slant that, along with the factual basis for the story, make it a hard picture to really enjoy. The cast is too credible to allow us much amusement... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 12. |  | Suspicion
from Turner Home Ent
Price: $13.99
Customer Review:
Cut from the same stylistic cloth as "Rebecca," director Alfred Hitchcock's first teaming with Cary Grant was this disappointing 1941 adaptation of Francis Iles' novel "Before the Fact." Hitchcock successfully cast Grant against type as Johnnie - a reckless, irresponsible playboy who marries the shy... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

The Bottom Line:
An absolutely spiffing thriller with a great performance by Robert Walker as the psychopathic Bruno and one heck of an ending, Strangers on a Train is one of Hitchcock's better pictures. | 4.5 / 5.0

from 20th Century Fox
Price: $8.99
Customer Review:
Sometimes greatness can be achieved in a singular way, even if the totality of a work of art is not great. This came to me upon watching one of my dad's all time favorite films, and one which I have watched several dozen times in my life- Alfred Hitchcock's 1944 black and white Lifeboat, which is... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Universal Studios
Price: $14.99
Customer Review:
A very good character study of a frigid, kleptomaniac with a love triangle thrown in to boot. Tippi Hedren is much better in this one than in "The Birds". | 4.0 / 5.0

| 16. |  | Alfred Hitchcock Presents - Season Two
from Universal Studios
Price: $31.99
Customer Review:
Just what did I mean by that? Well, both good news and bad, sort of.
Yesterday, I looked up this series on the Wilkipedia web site and I believe it stated that the series went on for 14 seasons! That's great of course, but what that also means is that some lucky individuals (who have the... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 17. |  | Saboteur
from Universal Studios
Price: $13.49
Customer Review:
Alfred Hitchcock rarely worked with B actors and production teams. In Saboteur he did, and produced a charming film that reflected his ongoing concerns of trust and guilt/innocence. The Statue of Liberty sequence is worth the price by itself.
This film is a great companion piece to The 39 Steps... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 18. |  | The Trouble with Harry
from Universal Studios
Price: $17.99
Customer Review:
I never thought it fair that this 1955 black comedy was labeled "lesser Hitchcock". Granted it is "atypical Hitchcock" given its light touch and lack of threatening violence (save for three gunshots heard at the beginning), but master filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock has made other movies far more out of... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from Universal Studios
Price: $17.99
Customer Review:
I loved this from Day 1. Great story line, good acting, and a top notch spy thriller as only Alfred Hitchcock could do. The actors used apart from Newman and Andrews do a first rate job in re-creating that dark, dangerous, and claustrophobic feeling of what it must have been like living behind the... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

| 20. |  | Alfred Hitchcock - The Legend Begins (20 Movie Classics)
from Mill Creek Entertainment
Price: $8.99
Customer Review:
Don't buy this box. Discs 1 and 2 are bad, corrupted and wouldn't play in your DVD-player. Buy the two 10-movies boxes instead. They are good. And it is the same films as in the 20-movie box.
I wrote to warranies@amazon.com about the problem but they didn't even answer.
