My advice: Dig out your old copy of Hitchcock/Truffaut (or go buy a new copy, fast, because Francois Truffaut’s film-by-film analysis of the movies of Alfred Hitchcock is a mandatory part of any solid cinephile’s library), and stay tuned. This month, TCM is celebrating the master of suspense by presenting 50 Years of Hitchcock, and presenting not only the acknowledged classics from later in his career, but also representatives of his earliest work, even the silents. So tune in tonight at 8 p.m. ET, for example, for 1927’s The Ring, a silent film in which Hitchcock took his camera into the boxing arena (pictured) decades before Martin Scorsese’s Raging Bull. Other early Hitchcock silent films from the late 1920s shown tonight include Downhill (also known as When Boys Leave Home) at 9:45 p.m. ET; The Farmer’s Wife (11:15 p.m. ET); The Lodger (1:15 a.m. ET); The Manxman (3:00 a.m. ET); and Blackmail (5 a.m. ET). Take the opportunity to record, and watch, them all.
