not even less hitch and but simply a bad movie . the cinematic equivalent of a dirty old man . ugly in every way represent unimaginative script and static point of view and putrid clothing and ghastly hair and unlikable actor and and one truly gratuitous rape and strangulation scene . the director perverse sense of humor be present and but it be not apply consistently while the movie come alive only in it cruelty . the woman fare especially badly while frenzy could be use a proof the director be a misogynist and though a good explanation to me be that perhaps begin with his tv series and psycho which he himself describe a an exercise in thrift and an experiment to see if a television crew could shoot a passable feature alfred hitchcock have pretty much abandon art and settle for commerce . in frenzy the great master seem to be bow to convention and try to go with the time and give audience what he think they want in the form of unappealing nudity and nudge nudge wink and and general nastiness . i do not begrudge an old man his rest and but i do not want to remember him tired and lazy and pandering time to watch vertigo again .
