Alfred Hitchcock interview (part 6 of 6) Tomorrow Show with Tom Snyder Fall 1973

[jimchapin]

Thank you for posting this. I'm Italian, and I had a chance at last to enjoy such a wonderful story teller, in movies and in life. Fascinating (and luckily he speaks an understandable English). I'm sorry it came to end so quickly. Thank you again.

How bizarre, Mr. Hitchcock, by the end of part 5 of 6, I was reading up on Leprosy, on wikipedia to find out if it were contagious. All these years later, and you're still one step ahead of us. Haunting.

Thanks for these videos :)

0:17. Glorious.

I could listen to Hitchcock talk for hours. I love the fact that directors such as Christopher Nolan reference him as being one of their main influences. I watched 'North by North West' and 'The Birds' earlier, having never seen a Hitchcock film before, and was totally amazed. It's fantastic that so many years on, his work has still stood the test of time.

Snyder: "All directors are actors."

Hitch: "What?"

hilarious

[banq0o]

@krane121 heheeh Hitch the man!

[coleseancole]

this is awesome and real. fuck hollywood.

[coleseancole]

this is fucking awesome and real. something hollywood sucks at.

[daehllaw]

Leprosy would be a nice name for a girl! Classic!

[TheLastOffender]

Tom, knowingly: "All directors are actors!"

Alfred: "I would never sink so low." Fantastic

[MrMagician1]

thanks for putting these up!

[manias88]

Genio!

[jmkeller]

This is just a guess, but I'm sure his take on water contributed to his death (renal failure).

[clara2768]

what a finale!

[greeneyes2394]

I am doing a project for school and this interview helped me out a lot! Thank you so much!

[Teflon65]

As Hitchcock once said, at the end of a record album, "If you haven't been murdered yet, better luck next time."

[LCFCTravis]

Thanks for putting up this interview. It's fantastic to see.

[boutcuz]

ledgendary !! i hope the protest works and the remake never happens.. just goes to show hollywood is running out of ideas.. and u should never f """ with perfection ...

better to be king for a day than shmuck for lifetime

[jmkeller]

One of the rare moments to see this man smile! 2:08

[GEVMM]

'I would never sink so low...' Being an actress myself, this offends me, but I love this man no matter what. What an absolute genius he was!!!!! I'm starting a petition to stop Universal Pictures from remaking The Birds! If you're interested in signing it, the link is on my profile.

[Gnillob802]

Hitchcock's disdain for actors was an act, much like Jack Benny's stinginess. But I do think there was a little truth in it, not so much for acting as a profession, but in regards to stars that had placed themselves high on a pedestal with big demands, big tantrums, and big salaries. He was trying to neutralize their egos a bit.

[jimbo222000]

@Gnillob802 I totally agree with you

[nekidspaceman]

I think 'the birds' should be remade. It will never come close to being as good and it will show more people how good Hitchcock was.

When vanSant remade 'Psycho' he ruined it, not even by following shot by shot (except the ending) the original is was devoid of charm. Only proving that Hitch rules.

As long as they don't CGI the love birds swaying in the car ...

[greeniem]

@nekidspaceman lmao @ ANY  remake of a hitchcock film...

[jamasianman]

My favourite director. He`s so chill.

[danbacon]

thank you so much for taking the time to post these. very cool. what a treasure.

[l234567898765432l]

What was up with the leprosy comment at the end?

[livingElvis]

That's an inner joke on the story he was telling in part 5. That's also an statement to clear him from being sued by someone who could've found that was an innapropriate story.

[eeClaytonification]

it's just his dry sense of humour

he doesn't really mean it

[MrHitchcockFan]

A genius. There will never be another filmmaker like Hitch. Many thanks for putting these up.

[lavista2013]

@MrHitchcockFan, how about Steven Spielberg, have you forgotten him?

[MrHitchcockFan]

@lavista2013 Spielberg is a great filmmaker (personally he is #2 on my list). Jaws, ET, Jurassic- all classics, but no one used the camera as creatively as Hitch did.

[lavista2013]

@MrHitchcockFan, well you are a fan of Htichcock so your biased is inclined towards Hitch. I must say both directors are great. it's a tough decision. Maybe it's a tie. Hitch definitely had better personality than Spielberg but Spielberg is more successful in terms of films. Hitch vs. Spielberg: TIE :) :) :)

[overvision]

He transformed silent films into contemporary movies and became one of the most prolific architects of cinematic storytelling.

All who followed Hitch stands on his shoulders, no matter how successful.

it's like without Abbott and Costello, there would be no Jerry Seinfeld. Without Picasso and Dali, no Warol - and without Hitchcock, there would certainly be no Spielberg.

[qwer58j]

@lavista2013 Spielberg has lost the plot

[filiptom242]
