A Slight Hitch
Great news for all us Alfred Hitchcock fans - that nice UK Network DVD company is releasing a 10 (count ‘ em ten!) film set comprising some of the Master’s early sound films. To be released on the 25th of February, the contents are:
The Pleasure Garden [print used is from the Rohauer Collection]
The Lodger
Downhill
The Man Who Knew Too Much
The 39 Steps
Secret Agent
Sabotage
Young and Innocent
The Lady Vanishes
Jamaica Inn
Plus, Network promises us assorted “extras”!
