It just seemed to me that M. Night Shyamalan, who wrote this movie, should have had someone proofread the script before turning this into a movie. There are parts of the story which just do not make any sense. I know he meant well when writing this, but the story is so lacking in so many places. I really wanted this film to work. I waited in anticipation for the DVD release, having missed my chance to see this in the theater. I fell for what hype there was in the trailers I saw. It seemed like it was going to be a very good experience. Unfortuneatly, the movie just fell flat for me. I can not recommend this movie at all.

Dick Cavett does a wonderful job of allowing Alfred Hitchcock plenty of time during the hour long Interview to be Alfred. Dick sits back and lets Alfred reveal all kinds of the wonderful directorial direction Alfred used in some of his famous movies.

The beginning of the show is classic, with Dick coming from the side in shadow as Alfred did so many times on his own show, then the master himself shows the skinny Dick Cavett how it is really done, coming from the other side to meet Dick belly to belly, both in shadow.

The interview lags just a few times, mostly allowing Alfred time to catch his thoughts and spew forth more intelligent banter. You get a rare opportunity to witness and hear some of the great Brilliance this amazing director possessed. I was truly amazed at how simple some of the Techniques he used in making film magic was. I guess having that great mind behind the technique helps tremendously.

I gave it an 8 out of 10, but highly recommend this interview with out any problems whatsoever.
