When hot-tempered bartender Richard (Jon Finch) loses his job, he mopes around London, eventually visiting his ex-wife to cadge a tenner. The visit turns sour, they argue, and he storms away. Soon after, she's visited by the gruesome Necktie Murderer, who leaves her dead--and the nosy neighbors are ready to pin the crime on Richard. Hitchcock's return to England resulted in a grimy, violent, but often hilarious thriller that was perfectly suited for the realistic thrillers 1970s. Maligned in its time, FRENZY is now recognized as a classic.
