A New Article By Kim Morgan about "The Amazing Creation of Lars Thorwald"


Big, hulking, white haired Lars Thorwald is another one of Hitchcock's lead-ups to Norman Bates -- both men have sympathy to go with their terrifying sides, and both men like bladed carving instruments.

I can't get the link, but a writer on film named Kim Morgan has put out an article on Rear Window this week(as liner notes for a screening) and though it covers other bases, the focus on Thorwald -- in his blue suit and blue eyes -- is quite good.

You should be able to find it...

One of them, to be sure.

There might be another....

its a solid Hitchcock movie - Vertigo maybe my favorite

I like 'em both. Very much. Absolute favorites.

But I like North by Northwest a bit more.

And Psycho the best.

Still, that's quite a crowd to choose from.

The American Film Institute has twice in two decades named those four films as the ONLY Hitchocck films in the list of "100 Greatest Films Ever Made."
