So I recently bought the Alfred Hitchcock Masterpiece Collection. I've already seen quite a few of his films but I'm starting a script soon that I really want to pay homage to Hitchcock with, so I'm rewatching his library just to "study" some more.
When it dawned on me - Has he ever had a consistent voice over in his movie?
In the last two weeks I've re-watched Vertigo, Rope, North by Northwest, and Rear Window. The Trouble With Harry, Psycho, and The Birds aren't as fresh in my mind but I don't remember a VO in them. I did a quick search and I guess Rebecca (which I haven't seen) opens with a VO, but that's all I could really find. I guess I'm just a bit surprised since Hitchcock did a lot of dark movies, yet he never seemed to enter that whole noir inner monologue VO territory that was common in other movies of the era. Anyone know why? Or is there a Hitchcock movie that does this?
