I disagree. He definitely made his share of stinkers, and even he admits to sleeping through a decent amount of his films while they were shooting because he was bored and/or had no interest in them. I Confess, Stage Fright, The Paradine Case, Topaz, Torn Curtain -- all terrible.

I disagree on Stage Fright. Strong, funny and suspenseful film. A lost classic imho. Would look great on blu. This one is controversial because of the..um...don't want to give it away. Alaster Sim and Marlene Dietrich are great in this. Jane Wyman is good too.

The others, I agree, are duds.

I like Rebecca a lot. It is slow like Vertigo, but in other ways quite different...
