    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Dame Helen Mirren, who plays Hitchcock's wife Alma Reville, had also met the real Sir Alfred Hitchcock when he approached her for a part as a murder victim in his penultimate movie, Frenzy (1972). Mirren turned down the role, a decision she later regretted.
    • Goofs
      The movie portrays principal photography and Alfred Hitchcock's office as being on Paramount Studios' backlot. In reality, as Psycho (1960) was the last picture the director would make under his contract with Paramount, by the time filming began his office, as well as the sets, had moved to his new studio, Universal.
    • Quotes

      Alfred Hitchcock: I will never find a Hitchcock blonde as beautiful as you.

      Alma Reville: Oh, Hitch. I've waited thirty years to hear you say that.

      Alfred Hitchcock: And that my dear, is why they call me the Master of Suspense.

    • Crazy credits
      As Hitch addresses his audience at the end of the picture, he tells us that he is bereft of ideas for his next picture... then a large, black bird lands on his shoulder.

    Underrated
    I didn't really expect much from Hitchcock, but I found it incredibly enjoyable. Perhaps the problem is that a biographical film like this of one of the most famous films ever made could have been more dramatic. As it is, it's definitely rather light-weight and doesn't have all that much meat to it, but what is there is enjoyable in all the right ways. The cast is solid, but the two leads are really great. Hopkins disappears into the role, and Mirren does wonders with her part in such a charming, charismatic way. As a huge Psycho fan, a film like this is just really enjoyable and entertaining, and in that way it didn't disappoint. I definitely recommend this.
