Jon Finch Alec McCowen and Barry Foster star in this morbid blend of horror and wit-the first Hitchcock film to earn an 'R' rating. The Necktie Murderer has the London Police on red alert and an innocent man is on a desperate quest to find the real serial rapist-murderer and clear his own name. Alternating heart-pounding tension with distinctive Hitchcock humor Frenzy marked the Master of Suspense's return to his native England after almost twenty years.Starring: Jon Finch Alec McCowen Barry Foster Billie Whitelaw Anna Massey Barbara Leigh-Hunt Vivien Merchant Clive Swift Bernard Cribbins Michael Bates Jean MarshDirected by: Alfred Hitchcock

FRENZY was Alfred Hitchcock's next-to-last film--and the first film he'd made in England in 20 years. It was based on an Arthur La Bern novel and focuses on many of the same motifs that Hitchcock had obsessively examined throughout his life's work: the wrong man theme the doubling theme in which one person acts out the repressed violence of another and the general public's thirst for sex and violence. Hitchcock had made films featuring Jack the Ripper-type killers before including THE LODGER in 1926 a silent movie about a series of murders in London and a mysterious man who appears to be guilty of the crimes. In FRENZY Hitchcock goes mod with this blackly comic story about a sex criminal--the Necktie Killer--plaguing post-Carnaby London. An innocent man who is suspected by police as the murderer must fight to nab the real perpetrator and clear his name. Though lesser known FRENZY marked a striking return to form for the famed director. It was also his first R-rated picture. Anthony Shaffer's script is excelle

Alfred Hitchcock entered the 1970s with his commercial reputation virtually in tatters, a far cry from his stature at the start of the 1960s. Then, he'd been in the middle of the massively successful trio of movies, North by Northwest, Psycho, and The Birds, and was a ubiquitous presence on television thanks to his anthology series Alfred Hitchcock Presents -- but the series ended, and he'd suffered three expensive box-office failures in a row, Marnie, Torn Curtain, and Topaz, in the second half of the 1960s. He redeemed himself with Frenzy, however, which marked his return not only to England for the first time in 20 years but also to the subject matter with which he'd started his career in thrillers back in 1926 -- murder, and a hunt for a serial killer in London. As the latest female victim of the "Necktie Murderer" is found in the Thames, raped and strangled, we meet Richard Blaney (Jon Finch), a bitter, belligerent ex-Royal Air Force officer who can't seem to find his way in life. He drinks too much and
