Actually, the above is one of several questions currently being asked in the "Editor's Day" feature of the Hitchcock Scholars/'MacGuffin' website. Other matters that are currently featured include (1) the biggest 'scandal' involving Hitchcock (never mentioned in McGilligan's perhaps too-rosy bio - btw, a review of that book is coming soon); (2) the 'Master Bates' pun in film (e.g., PSYCHO) and literature; (3) new scholarship from the UK re BLACKMAIL's status as the first British talkie feature; (4) the source of the torture scene in Hitchcock's FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT. For all of the above, go to: http://www.labyrinth.net.au/~muffin/news-home_c.html Also, a couple of reviews of film-and-philosophy items (including Irving Singer's 'Three Philosophical Filmmakers') have lately been added to the same site's New Publications page: http://www.labyrinth.net.au/~muffin/publications_c.html Thanks for reading this, fellow subscribers to SCREEN-L! - Ken Mogg (Ed., 'The MacGuffin').
