Looking for early silent hitchcock. Help?
Looking for some info on the earliest films for Hitch. IMDB list several German films that i can find no info on. If anyone has a website that can give me info or can help me find these obscure titles on dvd please post it. Some of these may not exist anymore and if that is the case i just want to read it in print.
stuff like mountain eagle, and always tell your wife. Little help |
Mountain Eagle (Hitchcock's second film) is his one and only lost film. It is not known to exist in any form.
He co-directed a silent film at UFA called The Black Guard, which I've seen in a 35mm print with unsubtitled German intertitles. None of us knew what was going on. There was a silent and sound version of Blackmail. The sound version is easily found, and I believe the silent version is on DVD in the UK. The only easily found Hitch silents in R1 are The Lodger, The Skin Game, and The Farmer's Wife. |
where did you see the black guard? Also does anyone have a complete list of hitch films released and TBD

that site also says mgm has announced a box set for all the criterion oop titles as well as a few others....is that much more than a rumor at this point?
I know WB had talked about releasing a box, but i never say that confirmed either. |

The Digital Bits report on the MGM set:
We also have confirmation of the titles coming in November as part of MGM's Alfred Hitchcock promotion from the studio. These will include The Lady Vanishes, Notorious, The Paradine Case, Rebecca, Sabotage, Spellbound, The Thirty-Nine Steps and Young & Innocent. They'll be available in a box set and separately as well. |
Turner Classic Movies was going to show newly restored prints of The Ring and Champagne recently, but they arrived without soundtracks. Hopefully they will show them in the fall.
Meanwhile the Delta DVDs which in clude a number of the silents are only just passable -- BFI has a great print of The Lodger on VHS only in the UK -- it ran ONCE on AMC about 4 years ago. If it makes it to DVD it'll be a must have. |

Hopefully they will show them in the fall. I had set my ReplayTV to grab Champagne when that aired (maybe 2 months ago?) and was disappointed to see that they had replaced it with some other flick. I never knew what happened... |
