Paul Merton Looks at Alfred Hitchcock
Originally broadcast sometime last year, Merton co-writes, presents and directs this look at Hitchcock's early life and British films. It's a brilliant piece: analytical and informative, but also incredibly playful. Despite being known as the Master of Suspense, Hitch was incessantly humourous -- one of the reasons his films are so well regarded is this contrast -- and one imagines he would delight in the occasionally irreverent style Merton employs here. Most documentaries are watch-once contains for information, but the intelligence and entertainment Merton brings to this make it worth seeking out and, at some point, seeking out again.
