Hitchcock's "Frenzy" (A film Study) Anyone Interested??

Perhaps a good place to start would be a review from each perspective
poster. They won't necessarily be correct, but they should represent
the impressions that the film left on them. Ten people can see the
same film, and come away with several entirely different
interpretations.

Here's my take on "Frenzy"

As I remember, this was the first newer Hitchcock that was decidedly
British. All of his films for years had featured American actors and
American stories, even if the location was different ie: "To Catch a
Thief." This was British through and through and the color quality of
the print did not seem nearly as rich as we've come to expect. That
reminded me of the discount film developing years ago that was not
'Kodak' Quality.
There's a crowd of Brits that gather at the opening of the film where
a naked body has been discovered. Surprisingly, we see naked parts of a
woman's body early on in the film. Even in films that feature nudity,
it's seldom placed so near the beginning.
Another point is that this is the first time (as far as I know) where
Hitchcock's film contains language that could not be shown on commercial
television without being changed or deleted. It's sad in my opinion,
that films have evolved to using course language. Even if it makes it
more 'realistic,' I'd rather that it didn't.

About the plot?
There's this serial killer, who somehow manages to seduce pretty young
women and then chokes them with something around their neck, usually
while they are naked and in bed.
I don't really remember any comic relief, something that is in most
all Hitchcock films.
The insertion of humor by Hitch (and other directors who had been
making films since the early silent days) IMO reflects when humor was a
necessary part of dramatic silent films.

I came away from this thinking that this particular Hitchcock film was
interesting, but had I not known Hitch was involved, I would have no
idea who the director was.
It was just a film. No big twists to the plot or really surprising
ending as I've always seen in his great classics.

Of course, this is only what I remember.

Well, there was that 'potato' truck, but you already know about that.
