Frenzy

...Frenzy was not just a dark homage to the bustling city of Hitchcock's youth, but it was also a scrapbook of the themes and stylistic traits that had become his trademarks.

This is the kind of thriller Hitchcock was making in the 1940s, filled with macabre details, incongruous humor, and the desperation of a man convicted of a crime he didn't commit.

The master at his most jaundiced, Frenzy displays a magnifying rather than mellowing of the ugliness inherent in his worldview, but why should he have it any other way?

This creepy thriller stars de Marney as a Paris sculptor who has an affair with the wife of another sculptor who is slowly going mad.
