The Man Who Knew Too Much

Hollywood bought the film rights to five of his most famous films The Man Who Knew Too Much, Rear Window, Rope, The Trouble With Harry and Vertigo so they could not be screened in movie theaters for after their initial run. Subsequently they were not seen by a cinema audience for 30 years. According to the telegraph quote he cared so deeply about protecting his art he spared no expense making sure they were viewed in the correct manner by their audiences. So this is like okay that's probably part of why he was such a good director is this control. But we're also seeing sort of the dark side of this control. And they have both part of the same guy.
