As the Summer Olympics continue, I thought everyone might still be in a
LONDON frame of mind. And since it is no secret that London is my
favorite travel destination AND Alfred Hitchcck is my favorite film
director, I decided to merge the two in honor of London 2012. Now, to
make this list, the movie has to be shot ON LOCATION in London…not on a
soundstage.
Dial M for Murder
is “set” in London, but it was shot in Hollywood. Using London as a
location criteria, there are three films that make the list.
Frenzy,
I feel, is Hitchcock’s best USE of London on film but my personal
favorite of his three set-in-London films is the 1956 version of
The Man Who Knew Too Much, which is the first Hitchcock movie I ever saw.
