He doesn’t waste his words, he’s very slow and deliberate in his responses. It shows he’s listening to the questions and thinking about his reply. Most accomplished directors pay him the greatest compliments which he deserves.
Daxkalak I've got four of his movies on blue ray disk so far - The Birds, Psycho, Vertigo, and Rear Window. It's amazing what they've done to these old movies now, by updating them into DTS surround sound and cleaning up the picture and putting it into HD. It gives you a whole new and strange experience when watching them. I'm thinking I should stop collecting his movies now, so I don't get too Alfred Hitchcock on Tippi Hedren-type obsessed with them, lol. Those are his movies I mainly like anyway, including Marnie; I think I'll get that on Blue ray too when I find it at the shops. And I wouldn't mind owning some of his earlier black and white movies too. Oh no, Tippi Hedren, RUN!! haha
GovindaRajan S I found this collection of old black and white Hitchcock movies from when he lived in Britain. There's about 8 movies all made in the 1930s. It seems like some of his later American movies are actually remakes of some of these older British movies. For instance there is a movie called "Sabotage", which looks a lot similar to his later American movie, which I've heard of but have yet to see, called "Saboteur". And there's a movie called "The Man Who Knew Too Much" which obviously is the original to the American movie with the same name starring Jimmy Stewart. But my favourite movie in this set is "The Lady Vanishes". Gee, I loved this movie. It's the first time I've seen it.
Yea Hitchcock did remake ' The man who knew too much' with the same title with James Stewart in it. Same with Saboteur which he remade in 1942 with Robert Cummings (the boyfriend of Margo Wendice in Dial M for Murder)
Pia Lindstrom, daughter of Ingrid Bergman. She was 34 back in 1972 when she interviewed Alfred Hitchcock. This is a great interview with an amazing man.
Yes! You're right - I've listened to Hitchcock's voice for years and never noticed that. Only a woman, I think, could have picked up on that nuance in Hitchcock's public presentation of himself.
I'm a film director, and I must say…this man is a very good and insprational director. He certainly is an icon with a 3rd eye veiw into the world of filmmaking.
My favourite director of all time. I never get bored of watching his films, and I have seen some of them dozens of times: THE 39 STEPS, ROPE, DIAL M FOR MURDER, REAR WINDOW, THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH, VERTIGO, NORTH BY NORTHWEST, PSYCHO, TORN COURTAIN, FRENZY...
@KevinShaughnessy-mt9jt He explains very well how he makes his movies: the carefully planned framing of the shots, the editing, the long silences to create suspense, the camera movements... All of those work together to give meaning to the sequence; nothing is gratuitous. He was a visual director who made his sound films as if they were silent, telling the story through images without dialogue.
she doesn't seem to have a European accent. Maybe there's a light one and I just can't hear it. Wonder if she spent some of her childhood in America. Her mother and sister Isabella certain had/have heavy accents.
@@dsrtflwr6093 I can hear a noticeable Swedish accent, very slight but it's there, which actually surprises me. One wouldn't think she would have one at all since she grew up mostly in America. She sounds a lot like Ann-Margret, who also has that slight Swedish accent.
Saw some of his movies...wow what a filmmaker...Every plot is laid out but still moves the movie through different characters...Rope was so amazing...story moves just within a single room in an apartment...stunning that he kept the suspense till the last...the character's differentiation, dialogues, camera movement, and angles wow.
The greatest director ever by far. No one can beat him. A genius, an absolute genius, creator of so many masterpieces. Eternal thanks to Sir Alfred Hitchcock.
28:26 Hitchcock's smile is just priceless. It must have been great to have an interviewer that knew his films inside/out, and who really appreciated/enjoyed/engaged with them. An absolutely fascinating man, and arguably, the greatest director.
maneatingseas I like the concluding thought. First year students emulate Bergman but Hitchcock’s sophistication only comes when they mature in the art of cinematography that considers and communicates to the audience.
Did he have favorite actors? My impression was he did not think much of actors, and saw them as only vehicles for the storyline. By the way, Ingrid Bergman was, in my opinion, a phenomenal actress.
@@AmericasChoice Ingrid Bergman (and to some extent her husband Petter Lindstrom) was a personal friend of Alfred and Alma Hitchcock. Ingrid speaks about it in her memoir.
@@AmericasChoice It may be that Hitchcock treated Ingrid and her co-stars as means to an end on the movie set, while at the same time treating her warmly off the set. From what I've read about Ingrid, she was always very professional on the set, so perhaps Hitch's behavior towards "mere" actors was something she wasn't offended by.
Thanks for allowing us to share this. Hitchcock was definitely ahead of his time and a genius of his craft.His films stand the test of time, something many director's aspire to.
Lady interviewing is Pia Lindstrom, the daughter of Ingrid Bergman. Show was a great journalist and knew very well the movie industry. In this interview she is pretty good and Hitch seems to be enjoying the talk.
Watched Frenzy today and was very intrigued. The picture is beautiful. The way the camera 🎥 pans at certain things. The scenery is so cool. Love all hitchcock movies. Especially Hitchcock hour.. so many stars in the shows.
Love Hitchcock's movies, he was BRILLIANT there's no question. Not just with the suspense, but the crazy shots he would go for and get, working with the camera/lighting, the dialog, manipulation, he was breaking new ground for future directors to follow. A master
One of the best Hitchcock interviews I've ever seen. He is so relaxed with Pia Lindstrom (Ingrid Bergman's daughter) who he has probably known for over 30 yrs. And the 2nd interview he's asked questions he not usually asked. A real treat, this is.
That was wonderful listening to such a great man act so relaxed and without any pretentiousness. He has such a twinkle in his eye. To hear our happy fame can make him. Certain Royals could take a leaf out of his book.
What a man Hitch was! Definitely one of the greatest film directors ever. I like his calm way, demanding attention. It's like: "I tell you what when and where and even why. If you agree and go along: we are good, if not you will be in some big trouble". He is known to disrespect actors, but he was correct. He knew how to deal with huge egos. His body of work will remain fantastic forever. I am glad everything of his work as been beautifully restored and - as far as I know - kept in various formats (film and digital data of very high resolition) to survive for centuries. What a great man.
Onmysheet That is correct. You just confirmed what I said, you just used a different word. I have books about him and I can read between the lines to fill-in at least part of the rest. But from what I know Hitch wasn't more of a cu*t than many other well known directors. Kubrick anyone? And with his annoyingly condescending, preaching tone in "making off promos" and "interviews" James Cameron also seems to fall into that category. Ridley Scott (puffing a cigar) anyone? Highly intelligent and competent, yep, but you can smell from a mile away that he is a pain in the a** to work with. So what's new?
Oh boy, what a treat for a Friday night. I've never seen this interview before, and stumbled upon it via interviews with Welles and Scorsese. Best Friday night of 2015 so far!
needs repeating !!! Hitchcock was a lonely, imaginative, obese child, raised Catholic and trained to give his mother the day's confession every night. As an adult, driving in Switzerland one day, Hitchcock pointed out the window and told a friend, "That is the most frightening sight I have ever seen." The friend looked out with alarm and saw only a priest with his arm around a young boy. But Hitchcock leaned out of the car: "Run, little boy! Run for your life!"
@@evilmario6061 the OP said raised Catholic while he was born into an protestant family. People are not born into a religion but their family influences and raises them in a certain manner sometimes having a religious uprbinging too.
What a wonderful interview ,and Hitchcock just answers the questions slowly and all in all I enjoyed it very much .Thanks for putting it up.Give me the old films anytime.
Alfred Hitchcock was a genuine perfectionist,and some actors had a very hard time working with him.Everyone knew that a lead role in a Hitchcock film would launch an actor into super stardom.
Vena Retro I don’t think that is what op means I see as Hitchcock being so sure and honest about his job that he doesn’t try to sound “difficult “ or superior as many directors do nowadays He is just a man engaged to his art, and he does it well

@18:00ff. This man has a phenomenal memory. He remembers his years in Berlin "about 1924" with the "UFA" studio in "Neubabelsberg". And he mentions Jannings (Emil) in THE LAST LAUGH. For his performance in THE LAST COMMAND and THE WAY OF ALL FLESH (1928 and 1927), Jannings was awarded the first Oscar ever. In 1930, he was the professor who married Lola Lola a.k.a. Marlene Dietrich in Josef von Sternberg's THE BLUE ANGEL. He also pays homage to Lang (Fritz. DIE NIBELUNGEN, METROPOLIS, Dr. MABUSE, FURY, etc.), Murnau (Friedrich Wilhelm, NOSFERATU, SUNRISE etc.), and Lubitsch (Ernst, BLUE ANGEL, NINOTCHKA, TO BE or NOT TO BE etc.) , all of whom later went to Hollywood and partially had even greater careers than in Germany. There is an interview on YT of 1966 (Hitchcock in Frankfurt) in which, among other things, he speaks about PSYCHO - in pretty fluent German, after all these years.
The true master craftsman amongst movie makers. I often wonder what new movie releases would be like now if Alfred was in his prime in 21st Century. God bless you Sir
Man I wish I coulda auditioned for him.and I woulda shined shoes just to be in his movies or alfred Hitchcock presents when he says good evening!!! He mighta went to future past prison anything he could do I love this man I didnt know and a salute to him. For his great works!!!
Hitchcock speaks with wisdom, I liked how he saw Happiness, Suspense even Fear in his eyes, gives you a way to look at things differently...in a good way
Peter Bogdonovich once said "There is no such thing as an 'old' movie. Just wonderful pictures you haven't seen yet."
I love that quote. I'll pass it along.
Wow. Excellent comment.
He wasn't just the Master of Suspense. He was a Master of Movies.

"If you remember a film I made years ago called Rear Window" Yes Mr. Hitchcock, I remember Rear Window LOL. My favorite film of all time.

Up there as one of the greats , he is the master of suspense no one can beat him
His sense of humour is out of this world! Geez! And he is the 'Master of Suspense'. Tells a lot to us about the genius of this man and his range.
I love the fact he remembers the psychology of the movies she throws at him. A true master and absolute genius!
