The Alfred Hitchcock Walk

The Alfred Hitchcock Walk Sandra Shevey, aqe 76, conducted Alfred Hitchcock`s last one to one interview c1972. She started th Hitchcock personally asked Sandra to be his biographer.

SANDRA SHEVEY is a film historian who has been pioneering film tourism in London for the past 20 years. Sandra interviewed director Alfred Hitchcock in Hollywood in 1972 and has been lecturing about his life and his work in London at the National Portrait Gallery, the Barbican Cinema and the Westminster reference library where she curated an exhibition (with 2 talks) about `Alfred Hitchcock`s Lond

on Odyssey`. Two talks were about Hitchcock motifs of eating/cannibalism and identity. Sandra`s walks are like nothing you`ve ever experienced because they are tutorials on the streets. Sandra has letters from authors Winston Graham and screenwriters Even Hunter and Jay Presson Allen about working with Hitchcock. She has set designs from Henry Bumstead and others and also has some hand painted Xmas cards from Bummy sent to Sandra for many years prior to his death. Sandra has talked to many of Hitchcock`s collaborators including Roy Baker (`The Lady Vanishes`) who was snubbed by Hitchcock when he came to Hollywood to make `Don`t Bother to Knock` with Marilyn Monroe. Jack Cardiff, Hugh Stewart, Gil Taylor and many others have talked to Sandra about Hitchcock and Sandra hopes to get a publisher to finance a book about the director.

Hitchcock was violently pro-Semitic. I have just been listening to the interview I did with the Master in 1972. One of his comments resonates:

`Let`s put the +++++ in the gas chambers and see how they like it...`

We will be walking over Christmas and the festive period!

Farben Pharma and Notorious`..the cabal of `baddies` were working for Farben Pharma while Alicia and Dev make time in securing the uranium samples that were already the basis of atomic research (and ex*****on).

More curious than the uranium motif is the Farben trope, because Farben was using Jewish prisoners from Monowitz for psychological medical testing. Most went mad.

According to any number of books written about the CIA and the Kennedy assassination medical testing became mundane a decade or two after the Holocaust and much of it was used and is used against American civilians. At this stage of development one does not even have to be present. Cyber tracking, interference with brain waves have become commonplace.

I think Hitchcock has introduced this as a subtext and that Farben was removed ultimately from the film indicates to what extent the exposure posed a threat to USA intelligence.

Hitchcock is a very very cagey filmmaker.

Love these of Hitch and Ingrid. When I interviewed the director and we talked about `types` etc. he said `Ingrid Bergman` was his favourite type..mixture of German and Swedish. `The northern European type is so much sexier than the Italian or the Spanish woman. They look like school marms but hey, wait until you get them in a car`.

Hitchcock...NSIT..Not Safe In Taxis.
