Frenzy

Actors:  Barry Foster, Jon Finch, Alec McCowen

Rating: 7 out of 10, one of Hitchcock’s last films, taut with an interesting story that shows Hitchcock’s deft touch with plot interspersed with wry humor, especially surrounding the chief inspector’s wife’s culinary efforts.  The hero is kind of an idiot who makes it hard to root for but the villain is great and the chief police inspector is remarkable. 

MVP:  Alec McCowen as Chief Inspector Oxford suffering with wife’s cooking
