Director's Chair 11... Day Two

LAMBs in the Director's Chair
Event #11 starring Alfred Hitchcock
October 29th to 31st of 2010

< DAY TWO >

Hurray for the second day of the Director’s Chair! Tomorrow is Halloween and we have already started spending the weekend with our good friend Alfred Hitchcock. He might know a little something about suspense and terror. If you have missed the first day of the event then visit this link here to jump back a day. For today we will have a peek at a few more editorials about Hitch’s career before moving on to a slew of reviews for his films. There have been so many reviews submitted for this series that we will be spanning across twenty-nine of his films by the end of this weekend! Twenty-nine movies and one of them is The 39 Steps, which is included in the list of reviews for today. Anyway, without further delay I would like to distract you with a pretty blonde actress.
