Alfred Hitchcock’s Stage Fright is one of my favorite films ever. I am in the process of seeing every Hitchcock film (75% through them) and I think it may even be my favorite of his films so far…but that is a hard choice to make. He is most certainly my favorite director of all time and his worst movies are better than most directors’ best.
Anyway, I just found out that they have the movie available for free download on Archive.org at:

I don’t want to talk about it at all and ruin anything, but I really enjoyed the way the plot unfolded in this one. It features Marlene Dietrich at age 49. She was a fascinating woman and an excellent actress. She portrays a complex and unusual role perfectly in this movie.
If you’ve got 2 gigs free and a couple of hours, I definitely recommend it!
