The Hitchcock film from 1972 is titled "Frenzy." It marked a significant rejuvenation for Alfred Hitchcock after some less successful films in the 1960s. "Frenzy" was Hitchcock’s first film shot in Britain in about twenty years and also his first R-rated movie. The story centers on Dick Blaney, a down-on-his-luck Londoner falsely accused of raping and murdering women, as he tries to clear his name while the real killer, Robert Rusk, frames him. The film brought Hitchcock back to his thriller roots with a darker and more explicit tone, reflecting the permissiveness of the 1970s cinema environment.
