Central London

Alfred Hitchcock Historian Sandra Shevey celebrates the grand master with this whirlwind walk around 12 of his foremost London locations from 3 memorable films: `Frenzy`, `The Man Who Knew Too Much` (1956) and `The Paradine Case`.

Because Sandra interviewed Hitch in Hollywood in 1972 and kept up with him until his 1980 death, she is able to tell you alot more about the man, his films and his locations than many other film location guides.

The walk also benefits from original storyboards which were donated by Hitch`s set designer, Henry Bumstead.

Sandra is the foremost authority on Hitchcock locations, and was the first one to identify many of the more obscure locations in his films including Ambrose chapel and the eastern European embassy from `The Man Who Knew Too Much` as well as the marriage bureau from `Frenzy`. It was she who argued, contrary to one bolshie film scholar, that Hitchcock `did` shoot the London sequences but was forced to scrap them when Paramount complained that Doris Day did not look `glossy enough`.
