On Micromega Alfred Hitchcock unpublished

When English humor is said. Alfred Hitchcock (SCHEDA ANSA CINEMA) was also a master in this: speaking on the occasion of the release of what would be his last film, Family Plot (SCHEDA ANSA CINEMA) (1976, the director died four years later), when asked 'At what age should directors in Hollywood retire,' he said, 'I'd say 12.' Funny and, above all, anticipatory '. The conversation of the master of the thrill with journalists is re-proposed exclusively in the MicroMega almanac, entirely dedicated to cinema.

The interview is thus introduced by Giorgio Gosetti: In 1975, five years before his death, ballasted by a peacemaker who forced him to direct the set imprisoned in his specially modified Cadillac, weighed down by almost a quintal and a half worn with ease (but suffered by always), Sir Alfred Hitchcock returns to his favorite sport with Family Plot . Gosetti speaks of it as a 'black comedy dominated by the omen of death and therefore exorcised at every step by a brilliant and sometimes hilarious script'.

How brilliant is the whole itinerary of this conversation, starting from the razor to the actors: 'I happened to work with actresses who came to me about to cry, complaining that they were not direct. And I replied, "Well, I don't direct. The film is here on the script. The only thing I have to do is tell you when you're wrong. " I remember Ingrid Bergman usually getting very nervous. And I replied: "Ingrid, it's just a movie."
