Director: Alfred Hitchcock

Writer: Anthony Shaffer

From novel: Goodbye Piccadilly, Farewell Leicester Square by Arthur La Bern

Music Composed and Conducted by: Ron Goodwin

Keywords: Thriller, Serial Killer

The "Necktie Killer" stalks London, strangling women with ties after he tries to rape them. Ill-tempered bartender Richard Blaney receives initial suspicion, but police aren't sure he is responsible. Includes a chilling rape/strangulation scene which is unforgettable. Hitchcock's penultimate film, produced in England with English actors, is his final masterpiece; after this is only Family Plot (1976).
