Correction! Mike Frank assures me that he wasn't himself suggesting
that any misanthropy attributable to Hitchcock would, ipso facto,
denigrate him in his (Mike's) eyes. Mike wrote me: '... the idea that
there always has to be a redemptive strain in great art strikes me as
nonsense ... so i'm with you there'. Sorry, Mike!
