Review of Stage Fright (1950) by Vadim D — 26 Aug 2015
This is a lesser known Hitchcock film and perhaps because it doesn't have that hook or catchy plot line that many of his other films have, but it's well deserving to be rated among his best. He definitely relishes having Dietrich in the film and uses her persona to the max to strengthen the character and the plot.
His use of lighting is particularly notable here. There was much debate about the false flashback that is used in the film, and while it might have been controversial back then, it seems to work now.
