 | MOVIE #1,728 • 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 • 06.14.24 EVERY OTHER FRIDAY I’M REVIEWING THE COMPLETE WORKS OF ALFRED HITCHCOCK IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER. THIS IS TGI-HITCHOCK! Hitchy (can I call him Hitchy?) went uncredited for this two-minute short propaganda film featuring his only collab with Golden Age starlet Jennifer Jones as a nurse's aide. A single shot of Jones tending to a wounded soldier, speaking directly to the camera, imploring the audience to buy war bonds, if you took even a cursory glance of Hitchcock’s output from the mid 40s, you’d know that WWII was a major focal point for him. Alfred Hitchcock: the original antifa? |
