Originally posted by Mike Sullivan: Slight correction: His first film was for Producer David O. Selznick. It was the adaptation of Daphnie Du Marier's "Rebecca". It won an Oscar for Best Picture.
"Forreign Correspondent" was produced for Independant producer Walter Wanger and was also given a nod for an Oscar.
The pefect Hitchcock film to start with is perhaps "North by Northwest". Suspensful, entertaining and just damned fun.
Thanks for the correction, Mike. Foreign and Rebecca were released the same year, and both up for Best Pic at the Oscars, I believe. (Wasn't Hitch nominated twice for Director in the same year?)
Anyway, your brief summation of North by Northwest is indeed true, but I think you could say those three things of just about any Hitchcock film and you'd be hitting the bullseye. My personal favourite for just a quick watch: Rope (1948).
