At last, Warner Home Video will celebrate the legendary Alfred Hitchcock with his own seven-disc box set. Available individually or as part of the Alfred Hitchcock Signature Collection (which also includes the previously released North by Northwest, with disc contents the same), the titles newly restored and remastered for the collection include: Dial M for Murder (in 2-D only), Foreign Correspondent, I Confess, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Stage Fright, Strangers on a Train, Suspicion and The Wrong Man. All are presented in their original aspect ratios and include theatrical trailers. Strangers on a Train will be a two-disc set, and also includes the original-release version of the film as well as the preview version newly-discovered in 1991, plus an audio commentary with director Peter Bogdanovich, screenwriter Joseph Stephano, author Patricia Highsmith and biographer Andrew Wilson, a new documentary, an appreciation by director M. Night Shyamalan, and newsreel footage. Retail will be $19.95 for each individual title, $26.95 for Strangers on a Train, and $99.95 for the nine-disc box set.
