Gabin and the supporting case were excellent.

Doesn't he insinuate that the 'system' that produces financing, awards and public homage is flawed? "Hitch was a hit with audiences and critics...most influential film...most-copied filmmakers...most-referenced... impossible to understand...cinema without...Hitchcok..." Sorry to pick out one sentence but it will illustrate what Ben is targeting: Hitchcock is a 'hit', the director has 'influence' and he is "most copied" and "most referenced". Isn't Ben attacking the cult of "following" and "imitating"? Isn't he almost attacking the entire move-making industry? Haha, you'd think so from the comments. Stanley.
