Is it just me or does the Charles Laughton as Janoth sound eerily like Alfred Hitchcock throughout The Big Clock? Not that I find that distracting; actually, it adds to Janoth's sinister and darkly humorous character.
shareVery good observation! I'm sure Hitch really liked the film, too.
shareThanks! OK, so it's not just me who thinks that Laughton was channeling Hitch. And, yes, I would like to *believe* that The Big Clock won over the big man. One of these days when I'm not too lazy, I'll do some research to find out.
shareI doubt it. It's a pretty unrefined take on the 'Hitch thriller.' For starters there are no thrills in it. And film technique, the hallmark of a good Hitch movie, is absent completely.
shareYou know what? You're absolutely right. When THE BIG CLOCK airs again (most likely on the TCM channel), I will view it again with a more-critical eye. Thanks for your impeccable insight.
shareagree.
