If ‘Hitchcock’ is a body of work spanning fifty years and more than fifty films, then ‘English Hitchcock’ comprises the first section of that work: 23 feature films made before his departure for Hollywood in 1939. His English period is the gradual and delightful process of his becoming the ‘Hitchcock’ we all think we know, from The Lodger (1927) to The Lady Vanishes (1937). Join us in City Lit’s Cultureplex as we examine this exciting and perhaps less well-known period of Hitchcock’s career.
