Number 17 (1932) By 1932 it was already clear that Alfred Hitchcock was offering unusual films to movie audiences, and many people believed that Number 17 was his best yet. It contained many of the elements that later made him a household name. None of his movies were traditional. That was what made Hitchcock Hitchcock. And that was what made Number 17 a success. The story is about a band of criminals who pull off a jewel robbery and then stash their loot at what they think is a safe house. Wrong. A wandering vagabond happens along and, wouldn’t you know, comes across the stash. Add into the mix a detective who is determined to get his man, and with that, the chase is on. The train-and-bus sequence at the end alone is worth the price of admission. The Ring (1927) Boxer Round One Stander is a circus attraction who fights all comers. When he marries the box office girl and turns pro to please her, the pug is soon outclassed by competition inside and outside of the ring. Hitchcock’s keen eye for detail and imaginative use of visuals to communicate feelings and points of view make this one of his best silent films. A rare collector’s item. Includes an introduction by Tony Curtis and a bonus clip of the original theatrical trailer from Hitchcock’s 1953 film I Confess, with Montgomery Clift, Ann Baxter and Karl Malden.
