The cinematic city: Hitchcock's London: Your required read

The cinematic city: Hitchcock's London - CNN.com:

This is a terrific article on the CNN site that gives the reader a tour of Hitchcock's London.  Lots of photos and details--many of which I had never read before.  Time to head back to London for a refresher tour.


Director Alfred Hitchcock is one of East London's most famous exports -- the Hollywood legend was born and brought up in Leytonstone. Sadly, little evidence of his life there remains.


"Frenzy," Hitchcock's penultimate film and his last London movie sees a serial killer use a necktie to strangle his victims. It was shot in and around Covent Garden, when it was still a bustling fruit and vegetable market. Today the area is a popular stop on the city's tourist trail.
