J M Barrie: The man who wouldn't grow up

Hitchcock aficionados will know that JM Barrie's Mary Rose was the classic Hitchcock film that never made it to the big screen.  It came tantalizingly close in the 60's--but Rose was a special play that profoundly moved Hitch when he saw it as a young man, so turning that cherished memory into a film was a risk that the director couldn't take.

This excellent piece from today's Independent discusses Hitchcock's obsession with the work and a new production of the play in London.
