[RETURN] Actresses not used by Hitchcock

Recently, Hitchcock’s movie seeds have suddenly increased on the Internet. Think about the reason, it may be that Martin Scorsese took a short film of more than 9 minutes with the incomplete script that Hitchcock did not make. "A KEY TO RESERVA", the remaining three-and-a-half pages of the script was shot quite Hitchcock, from the soundtrack to the color to the protagonist, all based on Hitchcock's set, the degree of excitement of this short film, Cannes birthday Almost none of the gift-giving short films can catch up.

After watching Hitchcock's movies for several days, I suddenly discovered that many female stars who should have appeared in his movies have not appeared. Hitchcock has made 60 movies, and many legendary actresses have not participated in any of them. , I feel very curious.

The first thing I think of is Audrey Hepburn. I searched the Internet and found that many people are really asking this question: Why doesn't Hitchcock cooperate with Hepburn. I thought it was Hepburn who Hitchcock didn’t like the bean sprouts figure. This may also be a reason. Look at Hitchcock’s goddess, whether it is Ingrid Bergman or Grace Kelly, blond, blue-eyed and white. The skin is one thing, the outstanding temperament is one thing. Having a proud upper circumference seems to be what they cannot ignore. Compared with them, Hepburn is obviously less fleshy...

The reasons stated on the Internet are more interesting than my random guesses. In fact, Hitchcock had asked Hepburn to act in a play called "The Judge Has No Bail". This movie needs a brown-haired actress to play a daughter who goes to the villain group to get evidence to save her father who is in wronged prison. . Everyone knows that Hitchcock only likes to use blonde actresses. I think this film will change the hair color of the heroine to brown. To a large extent, it is the film company Paramount. After all, in 1959 , Hepburn was beyond red. The people from Paramount had contacted Hepburn first, and asked Hepburn to read the original novel of the story. Hepburn, who had finished reading the novel, agreed to play the role. However, it didn't take long before Hitchcock asked him to give the completed script to Hepburn. Hepburn was very angry after reading it, because Hitchcock added a scene in which the heroine was dragged into the park by criminals with the intention of rape. This is not the original. The plot of the. In Hollywood at the time, everyone knew that Hepburn was extremely disgusted with violent scenes, so no one dared to hand her a script involving violence, let alone rape. At that time Hepburn negotiated with Hitchcock, and the two sides were deadlocked for a period of time. Hitchcock had no intention to change. At this time, Hepburn had to go home to give birth to a child and quit the play. For this reason, Hitchcock Ke also had an antagonism with Hepburn, and the movie was gone. I still don't believe that Hitchcock will be willing to cooperate with Hepburn, so I guess the script is changed by Hitchcock to force Hepburn to abstain from voting, because this guy really likes to play this set.

Marilyn Monroe has never acted in a Hitchcock movie. This point should be explained well. Although Monroe has blond hair, blue eyes and white skin, and a spectacular upper circumference, it is less of a noble temperament. This acting is not good. Sex symbols should be vulgar fans in Hitchcock's eyes. Ask her to act and let her sit on an equal footing with Ingrid Bergman and Grace Kelly. I believe Hitchcock can't accept it even if he is killed.

It’s strange that Hitchcock doesn’t work with Vivien Leigh. She also came to Hollywood from the UK to break into the world. She has the same reputation, and Vivien Leigh has outstanding appearance and acting skills. Although she does not have blond hair, her temperament is absolutely noble, and she feels that she should be in line with Greece. Ou Kirk’s aesthetics is true, but Hitchcock just doesn’t cooperate with her, I don’t know why.

As early as when Hitchcock went to the United States to start filming her first Hollywood movie "Butterfly Dream", Vivien Leigh had already approached Hitchcock and hoped to play the heroine by herself. The male protagonist of "Butterfly Dream" was Lawrence Oliver. At that time, she was in love with Vivien Leigh. Hitchcock’s heroine is Joan Fontaine. It is said that at that time Lawrence Oliver repeatedly asked Hitchcock to replace Fontaine and let Vivien Leigh play an opponent. But Hitchcock never agreed, and Lawrence Oliver offended Fontaine for this, and the two stopped talking.

In the following decades, Vivien Leigh sought Hitchcock's cooperation many times, but was rejected by Hitchcock for various reasons each time. Is it because Vivien Leigh and Hepburn are good friends? It seems that Hitchcock should be afraid of Vivien Leigh, this cat-like woman.

The most confusing thing is that Hitchcock, who rejected Vivien Leigh and Audrey Hepburn, would let Julie Andrews be the heroine of his movie, that is, Julie and Paul Newman, who is still handsome. "Out of the Iron Curtain". Looking horizontally and vertically, a woman like Julie Andrews who has a lot of beauty in singing voices, even if her acting skills reach the state of superb acting, Hitchcock will not be able to appreciate it, it's really strange.

Hitchcock has filmed many, many films in his life. His films are very good-looking, good-looking, and ordinary, but there is no work that can make people post bad films. Many times I feel that a director who can shoot so many wonderful scenes, for movie fans, perhaps his life, his own story is far more exciting than the movie itself. Have the opportunity to look for the biographies of these big directors and celebrities. The gossip materials of the entertainment in the 50s and 60s are quite interesting. The entertainment records at that time are far more concerned about whether the celebrities wear underpants than they are today. It’s more interesting to have entertainment notes with or without a bra...
