A collection of Alfred Hitchcock thrillers. In 'Psycho' (1960),
Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) goes on the run after stealing $40,000
from one of her employer's clients. Taking a wrong turn in a storm,
she arrives at the isolated Bates Motel, run by the twitchy Norman
(Anthony Perkins), who is constantly at the beck and call of his
unseen mother. When Marion takes a shower in her room, a sudden
knife attack brings her life to an end. Upon discovering her body
Norman covers up the murder, but it is not long before Marion's
sister and boyfriend are attempting to track her down. In 'Rope'
(1948), believing themselves to be intellectually superior to their
contemporaries, flatmates Brandon (John Dall) and Philip (Farley
Granger) murder their friend David Kentley (Dick Hogan) purely to
see if they can get away with it. They then throw a cocktail party,
serving food from the top of the trunk where they have hidden
David's body. Their guests include both David's father and fiancée,
as well as college lecturer Rupert Cadell (James Stewart), who
becomes increasingly suspicious as the evening wears on. In
'Sabateur' (1942), factory worker Barry Kane (Robert Cummings)
finds himself branded an industrial saboteur after a fire breaks
out in the workplace. The extinguisher he handed to his colleague
and best friend itself burst into flame, and Kane is now on the
run, determined to find the real culprit and so prove his
innocence. The only person who believes his story is Patricia
Martin (Priscilla Lane), who aids him in his flight from the
authorities. In 'Rear Window' (1954), after breaking his leg during
a shoot, photo-journalist L.B. 'Jeff' Jeffries (James Stewart) is
forced to spend a humid summer recuperating in his Greenwich
Village apartment. The wheelchair-bound Jeff whiles away his time
observing his neighbours through a telephoto lens, bestowing them
with nicknames and growing familiar with their daily routines.
However, his society girlfriend Lisa (Grace Kelly) is exasperated
and then alarmed when Jeff becomes obsessed with the notion that
Lars Thorwald (Raymond Burr), who lives in the apartment opposite,
has murdered his wife...In 'Shadow of a Doubt' (1943), young
'Charlie' Newton (Teresa Wright) longs for something exciting to
happen to brighten her dull existence in Santa Rosa with parents
Joseph (Henry Travers) and Emma (Patricia Collinge). The arrival of
her Uncle Charlie (Joseph Cotten) seems to be just what she needs.
Urbane, witty and charming, Uncle Charlie soon makes himself at
home, but his suspicious behaviour begins to unsettle his niece.
When police detective Macdonald Carey (Jack Graham) tells Charlie
that he believes her uncle to be none other than the Merry Widow
murderer, she begins to question whether she really knows Uncle
Charlie at all. In 'The Trouble with Harry' (1955), when Harry
Rogers' dead body is discovered one autumnal day in Vermont,
several people try to keep it a secret. Among them is Captain
Albert Wiles (Edmund Gwenn), who mistakenly believes himself to be
responsible for Harry's death, Harry's widow, Jennifer (Shirley
MacLaine), painter Sam Marlowe (John Forsythe) and local spinster
Miss Graveley (Mildred Natwick). Their attempts to rid themselves
of the troublesome corpse lead to further misunderstandings and
several disinterments. Finally, in 'The Man Who Knew Too Much'
(1956), Dr Ben McKenna (James Stewart) his wife, former singer Jo
(Doris Day), and son Hank (Christopher Olsen) stumble on to an
assassination plot while on holiday in Morocco. As they try to
uncover the truth, the conspirators are determined to prevent them
from interfering.
