After an unparalleled string of artistic and commercial triumphs in
the 1950s and 1960s, Alfred Hitchcock hit a career lull with the
disappointing Torn Curtain and the disastrous Topaz. In 1971, the
depressed director traveled to London, the city he had left in 1939
to make his reputation in Hollywood. The film he came to shoot
there would mark a return to the style for which he had become
known and would restore him to international acclaim. Like The 39
Steps, Saboteur, and North by Northwest before, Frenzy repeated the
classic Hitchcock trope of a man on the run from the police while
chasing down the real criminal. But unlike those previous works,
Frenzy also featured some elements that were new to the master of
suspense's films, including explicit nudity, depraved behavior, and
a brutal act that would challenge Psycho's shower scene for the
most disturbing depiction of violence in a Hitchcock film. In
Alfred Hitchcock's Frenzy: The Last Masterpiece, Raymond Foery
recounts the history-writing, preproduction, casting, shooting,
postproduction, and promotion-of this great work. While there are
other books on the production of an individual Hitchcock film, none
go into as much detail, and none combine a history of the
production process with an ongoing account of how this particular
film relates to Hitchcock's other works. Foery also discusses the
reactions to Frenzy by critics and scholars while examining
Hitchcock's-and the film's-place in film history forty years later.
Featuring original material relating to the making of Frenzy and
previously unpublished information from the Hitchcock archives,
this book will be of interest to film scholars and millions of
Alfred Hitchcock fans.
