Many of the ideas used in Hitchcock's later masterpieces had already been explored in his earlier films like Lady Vanishes, Saboteur, and this one.

The further back you go in his work, the more you see familiar themes just waiting to be polished.

I watched Silent Partner (1978) last night. I couldn't help comparing it to Hitchcock's Frenzy, the story is just as well written.

All time noir, I don't make the rules. Robert Ryan was excellent as usual.
