For the Love of Hitchcock :: As the Old Saying Goes, Give a Man Enough Rope… (December, 1948)

 

“Nobody commits a murder just for
the experiment of committing it.”

“Nobody except us.”

 

 

 

 

 

This post is part of the For the Love of Film Blogathon, a new age telethon to raise funds for The National Film Preservation Foundation to help bring The White Shadow (a/k/a White Shadows), an early silent film that a certain master of suspense did just about everything for except direct — assistant director, screenwriter, film editor, production designer, art director, and set decorator, to the streaming masses and help defray the costs of adding a new musical soundtrack.
