Writing About the Movies
It was Fox Day at Rollins, which means that my class was unexpectedly cut short by a half hour. There wasn't time to do much more than show Strangers on a Train, one of my favorite Hitchcock films. It's also a good one to show students because Hitchcock's use of visuals to state his themes is so clear. Also, there's an exciting merry-go-round scene at the end that was, of course, filmed without today's CGI camera tricks. After filming it, Hitchcock is said to have vowed that he'd never do anything so dangerous again.
