Torn Curtain
After a pair of unsuccessful films depicting political intrigue and espionage, Hitchcock returned to the murder genre with this film. The narrative makes use of the familiar Hitchcock theme of an innocent man overwhelmed by circumstantial evidence and wrongly assumed to be guilty. Some critics consider "Frenzy" the last great Hitchcock film and a return to form after his two previous works: "Topaz" and "Torn Curtain".
