50 YEARS OF HITCHCOCK
July 12, 2017  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

TCM’s absurdly rich and complete salute to Alfred Hitchcock continues, as it will every Wednesday and Friday night this month, with another night of Hitch films. We’re up to the wartime movies now – at least counting from the perspective of Hitchcock’s native England, where the country was at war beginning in 1939 – and the evening starts with 1940’s classic Rebecca at 8 p.m. ET. After that, it’s the same year’s Foreign Correspondent (10:30 p.m. ET), 1941’s Mr. and Mrs. Smith (12:45 a.m. ET), and, at 2:30 a.m. ET, 1941’s Suspicion, in which Hitchcock stressed the menace in a potentially drugged glass of milk by filming it with a tiny light submerged inside the glass (pictured). The guy was not only the master of suspense, he was a master of indelible images as well. And wait, there’s more: the evening doesn’t end until after the 4:15 a.m. ET showing of 1942’s Saboteur.
