You'll never see these Hitchcock movies.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Alfred Hitchcock was one of the greatest and most prolific filmmakers, and many of his movies are must-see classics, but there are a few of his films that can't be seen at all, as they're lost forever. Famously known as the "Master of Suspense," Hitchcock began his directing career in England in the 1920s before moving to Hollywood in 1940.
During the time that Hitchcock began directing movies, studios didn't do a great job of preserving films. Some deteriorated while others were destroyed in fires, and poor methods of distribution didn't help in terms of maintaining copies either. Sadly, similar to many filmmakers who started out in the silent era, a few of Hitchcock's first movies are only known about, as they didn't survive past their initial release.
Alfred Hitchcock's Unfinished Number 13 Remains Lost Despite it never being finished, this is typically considered to be Alfred Hitchcock's feature directorial debut. Initially working as a title designer and then art director and screenwriter on many British films in the early 1920s — almost all of them lost — Hitchcock was given an opportunity to direct his first movie in 1922. Unfortunately, the project, known as Number 13 , quickly ran into financial troubles.
After running out of funds, including money mostly provided independently by its leading lady, Clare Greet, and Hitchcock's own uncle , Number 13 halted production and then was permanently scrapped. Given that even finished and distributed films from the time are now lost and likely never to be found, the chances of the incomplete Number 13 existing somewhere in the world are especially doubtful.
As a result of its general disregard, The Mountain Eagle was likely not preserved properly following its disappointing release. Perhaps Hitchcock himself got rid of the existing prints, as he later admitted to hating the movie, telling François Truffaut in the book Hitchcock/Truffaut it was "very bad" and that he was glad it was lost. He even thought his career was done after its failure.
