'Citizen Kane' vs. 'Vertigo', The Hedren Hitch vs Reality
'Citizen Kane' vs. 'Vertigo': What does Sight & Sound poll really mean? - latimes.com:
So far, it's meant a fairly energized debate. And a couple of ecstatic fans like myself,
In other news, the actress that in every way is best described by her debut film, The Birds is back in the news with all sorts of unsupportable claims about Hitch. This is the one and only time I'll give this story a nod. The actress trots the story out whenever she sees blood in the tank. Sadly, her story has been made into an HBO film, due out on Oct. 20th. I'll skip it.
Okay, Dan, let me try and get some sort of alternate story here. I had read, in Spoto's book, as well (I think) in Robin Wood's, about all of this - and more - about Hitchcock and Tippi Hedren, and how it came to a confrontation between the two and how Hitch allegedly ruined Hedren's career after she refused his amorous advances.
ReplyDeleteWhere can I find anything either con this or debunking it?
Thanks,
