Unmade Movies: Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Blind Man”Last year on Hallowe’en, a few month’s before his Nero Wolfe impersonation on Sherlock, the ubiquitous Mark Gatiss had another and arguably more laudable presentation on the BBC.“The Blind Man” was part of the series of radio plays adapted from film scripts by very notable creators that never made it to final production through one thing or another. This Hitchcock thriller was to have been the follow-up to North By Northwest but that never happened and instead the world was graced with the dominance of Psycho. And The Blind Man was sadly forgotten.The link at the top will lead you to a zip file of the image above and one other, Radio 4’s in-house radio promo and the dramatisation itself. The latter being at 192kbps and over 86 minutes means the whole thing is 120Mb. So if you don’t want to download that much but would like to HEAR it, let me know and I’ll upload the play solo so it can be audio-streamed.I really enjoyed this and made a point of acquiring two of the others, Orson Welles’s script for Joseph Conrad’s Heart Of Darkness and Arthur Miller’s The Hook (the genesis of his A View From The Bridge and Elia Kazan’s On The Waterfront both). -- source link
