Hitchcock Blogathon: ‘Suspicion’

Hitchcock Blogathon: ‘Suspicion’

In association with the National Film Preservation Foundation, High-Def Digest is proud to join the 2012 Hitchcock Blogathon. During the week of May 14th to 18th, we will blog about topics related to the films and career of the legendary Sir Alfred Hitchcock, with the goal of raising money to fund a new musical score and online streaming distribution for ‘The White Shadow’, an early silent film that young Mr. Hitchcock (then officially a writer and Assistant Director) used as a stepping stone to launch his own directorial career. These Hitchcock posts will run throughout the week, and will involve some special contributors to the blog. I’ll start things off with a look at the filmmaker’s 1941 thriller ‘Suspicion’, starring Cary Grant and Joan Fontaine.

One from the Vault: ‘CQ’

One from the Vault: ‘CQ’

I probably ought to start off by saying that ‘CQ’ is a DAZZLING! FANTASTIC! sci-fi, movie-within-a-movie type of flick. But mostly I want to say that almost the whole Coppola family is involved in this one. Is that a good thing?

Blu-ray Highlights for May 1st, 2012 – As If!

Happy May Day, everyone! Does anyone even know what May Day is about? Personally, I don’t have a clue. I guess we’re supposed to celebrate that it’s the start of a new month. If that’s so, why don’t we have an April Day or a June Day, etc.? Just because those don’t rhyme? I could probably Wikipedia this if I felt like it, but I think that I’ve already strayed on this tangent long enough. Sorry about that. This is what happens when you write your blog posts on an airplane. Anyway… as far as Blu-ray releases go, the new month is off to a slow start.
