Bob's Your Uncle

After watching an Alfred Hitchcock movie, a common patter arises. Most often in the movie, a murder occurs and an innocent man is imprisoned wrongfully for the crime. Frenzy directed by Hitchcock does not disappoint. The movie takes place in London, England during the early 70s. The protagonist is Richard Blaney, a man who is divorced, recently fired, and down on his luck. There's a "necktie murder" running amok and women are dropping like flies. When Richard Blaney is in the wrong place at the wrong time, he is accused of being the serial killer. The movie flows nicely and the plot, although dark, has a touch of comedy noir which keeps the subject of murder light. There are a couple hilarious moments, particularly the scene in a bed of a potato truck and the scenery of London is interesting. I recommend this film for anyone who likes a good mystery, enjoys the London scene, or appreciates sound and film technique attributed to Mr. Hitchcock.
