If you only speak German, you should watch

If you only speak German, you should watch this version. If you speak English, you should just watch Alfred Hitchcock's film Murder! (1930) because it's exact same movie, using the exact same sets and plot, just with different actors.

Mary est la version en langue allemande de

Mary est la version en langue allemande de Murder, un film qu'Alfred Hitchcock avait réalisé en même temps en langue anglaise. Au-delà du fait que c'est un remake quasiment plan par plan, Mary est tout aussi peu intéressant que son aîné avec en plus le personnage le plus intéressant, l'acteur travesti, du projet joué par un acteur (Ekkehard Arendt) infiniment inférieur à Esme Percy. Si c'est un bel exercice de style pour le réalisateur qui en était visiblement friand, c'est toujours aussi pénible pour le spectateur. Dommage.

To drink or not to drink

The Hitchcock/Truffaut book,which is actually a very long interview ,something like "the Beatles anthology" in pop music ,gives us many interesting informations about "Mary" ,a movie the master liked.Although he told Truffaut he detested the whodunits ,those riddles a la Agatha Christie,"Mary" featured "things we did for the first time":stream of consciousness,play in the play a la "Hamlet" references to transvestism and even hints at (veiled) homosexuality,which was a "crime" in Great Britain as it was in Germany at the time....That said,the story drags on a bit and the running time could have been boiled down to one hour,which would have enhanced the really good scenes: IT was Herbert Marshall's first talkie and the scene when he's shaving and thinking for a clue renews the way the detective investigates.The unfinished manuscript is also a very good idea.But the bravura passage remains the final circus.One can also note the scene of the verdict we hear from the empty juror's room.There are elements which would appear later in Hitchcock's work: the theater ("Stage fright",also a whodunit,btw),of course "Psycho" (a man in drag) and "vertigo" (the finale which makes you feel dizzy).This is another early Hitchcock which is not only for completists.
