Lost WWII Classics of Espionage, Suspense and Murder!
Bon Voyage and Aventure Malgache are taut, absorbing dramas of wartime espionage and murder, made in 1944 to aid the war effort. But when British government officials saw Hitchcock's films, they labeled them "inflammatory," shelved them and tried to forget they were ever made.Now, more than 50 years later, Hitchcock fans can rediscover these lost classics.
In 1939, with England just a few months from plunging into World War II, the country's most celebrated filmmaker was on his way to America to join David O. Selznick's company.Alfred Hitchcock had begun his directorial career in 1925.With the advent of sound, he embarked on a series of craftily constructed, excitingly cinematic thrillers that would bring him great fame.
