8/10

Excellent set up for watching either version of the Hitchcock film Blackmail.

This is a wonderful documentary that I think Hitchcock fans will enjoy. I watched it on TCM in conjunction with watching both the silent version of Blackmail and then the talkie version and it was the ultimate set up allowing me to enjoy Blackmail in a way I wouldn't have otherwise. The clips and images in this documentary were my favorite part as the narrator cycles through the common themes of Hitchcock's films. Food, Sex, the cameo, the blond, the villains, the music, iconic locations, the big chase scene, and murder weapons...all discussed with cross film comparisons and mostly starting right here in the first Hitchcock talkie, Blackmail.

My favorite part of this documentary was the side by side comparisons between the Silent and Talkie versions of Blackmail. Absolutely worth watching.

Discussing Alfred Hitchcock's cameo roles, the narrator says, "... and trying to climb aboard a train holding a cello case in Der Fremde im Zug (1951)." In fact, Hitchcock is holding a double bass (bass fiddle) in its case.
