50 YEARS OF HITCHCOCK
July 28, 2017  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

What a month. And what a career. TCM’s 50 Years of Hitchcock concludes tonight by showing the final five films in the amazing resume of film director Alfred Hitchcock. There’s not an absolute classic in the bunch, but, as with every Hitchcock film, even the minor movies contains moments of impressive and entertaining ingenuity. Tonight’s final lap begins at 8 p.m. ET with 1964’s Marnie, in which Hitchcock teams Tippi Hedren (from the previous year’s Hitchcock masterwork, The Birds) with Sean Connery, just off his white-hot cinematic triumphs as James Bond. After that, it’s 1966’s Torn Curtain (Julie Andrews, Paul Newman) at 10:30 p.m. ET, 1969’s Topaz at 1 a.m. ET, 1972’s Frenzy at 3:30 a.m. ET, and Hitchcock’s final feature, 1976’s Family Plot, at 5:30 a.m. ET.
