Continuing yesterday’s series of moments designed to reawaken (my) cinematic affection, pre-Oscars. First, the Alfred Hitchcock cameos.

And now one of Hitchcock absolute greatest films –somewhat underrated these days and having absolutely nothing to do with Biggie Smalls — is discussed by my favorite living underrated director, Stephen Frears (“The Hit,” “Dangerous Liaisons,” “Dirty Pretty Things,” “High Fidelity,” “The Queen,” and the list goes on and on), who explains why Hitchcock is not one bit overrated.

And, yes, I know, whoever posted this got his “Steven” and “Stephen” wrong here. It made it slightly tricky to re-find this video on YouTube, put perseverance has its rewards.
