It’s no secret that we are die-hard Alfred Hitchcock fans (see here, here and here), but we’ve got a great reason for bringing him up again. Three of his early Hollywood-era thrillers are making their Blu-ray debuts on January 24: Rebecca (1940; Oscar-winner for Best Picture; Laurence Olivier, Joan Fontaine, Judith Anderson), Spellbound (1945; Ingrid Bergman, Gregory Peck) Notorious (1946; with Ingrid Bergman, Cary Grant, Claude Rains). All three black-and-white films remain classics (of their genre, of Hitchcock, and of Hollywood). They’ll make perfect viewing for a gloomy winter weekend afternoon; we are envious of those of you who will experience these films, for the first time, in their full high-def glory.
