Pajiba's Underappreciated Gems Gary Cooper's Big Regret Foreign Correspondent / Ranylt Richildis It may seem strange to call a Hitchcock film underappreciated , given the fact that Alfred Hitchcock is arguably the most famous movie director ever to pace a set.

... and off the mainstream cuff. But then there's a side to San Francisco that's unexpected. Filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock loved this city and used it as a setting in at least a few of his films. Most famously is 'Vertigo', which sees James Steward as a private detective, tailing his female subject, Kim Novak, around the city, and discovering a city layered with both rich scenery and dark...

Not so in 1941. The previous year, Joan had been nominated for her role as the sweet and unworldly second Ms De Winter in Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece Rebecca, based on the novel by Daphne du Maurier. Indeed, the feud between the sisters may have been sealed at that moment. One story is that both were chasing the part, and Joan got it. In the event, the Oscar went to Ginger Rogers,...
