Alfred Hitchcock's 1972 classic trailer promoting his film, Frenzy, showcases Hitchcock's unique brand of humor. Hitchcock produced trailers for several of his films due to his popularity on television with Alfred Hitchcock Presents. He did trailers for Psycho (1960) and The Birds (1963). I believe the Frenzy trailer is his best. I get a nice healthy chuckle every time I view it. Click on the button below and enjoy!
