  3. DVD review: Hitchcock classic welcomed to Blu-ray

    Thanks to the vagaries of distribution, Alfred Hitchcock's black-and-white 1934 “The Man Who Knew Too Much” has arrived on an affordable Blu-ray earlier than the director's better-known Technicolor 1956 remake, which is available only as part of Universal's expensive 15-film “Masterpiece Collection.”

  5. Taking note of music books

    If writing about music is like dancing about architecture, as Elvis Costello and others have sneered, then what does that make reading about music? Well, fun, for starters. Although Bowker Market Research reports that music books have steadily comprised between 2 and 2.5 percent of the non-fiction market since early 2010, they certainly seem to be enjoying a Baby Boomer-driven bubble right now.

  6. DVD review: 'The 39 Steps' worth taking

    Alfred Hitchcock's very free 1935 adaptation of John Buchan's novel was almost certainly the calling card that got him invited to make films in America. As a work of pure entertainment, it out-Hollywoods Hollywood. The plot is that of a thriller. But the tone is more reminiscent of Frank Capra's “It Happened One Night” (which won the previous year's Best Picture Oscar): a series of mostly comic episodes, about a couple, who are on the run by necessity, bristling with hostility, and absolutely destined to fall in love by the end.
