 Each week, Charley Walters shares some interesting information surrounding either one of the films coming up at The Dreamland, or provides some top notch recommendations on how to beef up your movie pedigree at home.
(These films will be available via cable providers, streaming services, and often times, your local library).
ARCHITECTURE AND ALFRED HITCHCOCK
The Dreamland’s Film for Thought series often screens works directed by Alfred Hitchcock. I’ve admired Hitchcock since the late 1950s, and I’m now reading Christine Madrid French’s recently published book The Architecture of Suspense, subtitled “The Built World in the Films of Alfred Hitchcock.”
Hitchcock loved to create renderings of spectacular and iconic manmade structures: Mount Rushmore in North by Northwest, or the Statue of Liberty in Saboteur. But he also depicted urban skyscrapers (Vertigo) and courtyards (Rear Window), rural roadside architecture (Psycho), as well as “houses” that did not in fact exist – the large Modernist mansion that Cary Grant climbs during North by Northwest is entirely sets and matte paintings.
French employs photographs to demonstrate how Hitchcock’s use of architecture was far more than cosmetic or esthetic. She points out that the director could make buildings illustrate character’s motivations, and that his films came to influence the architectural appreciation of society at large, even when some of his “buildings” were not real. The book contains many probing ideas but remains accessible to any reader.
So now is a good time for a Completely Subjective List (and it’s a long one) of my favorite Hitchcock films.
The Birds
Dial M for Murder
The Lady Vanishes
Lifeboat
Marnie
North by Northwest
Psycho
Rear Window
Rope
Shadow of a Doubt
Strangers on a Train
The 39 Steps
To Catch a Thief
Vertigo
