UK Readers!! Britgeek Has One (1) Blu-ray Copy Of Alfred Hitchcock: The Masterpiece Collection To Give Away!!
Britgeek here.
There is never a bad time to celebrate the legendary career of the late Alfred Hitchcock, but with no less than two biopics rounding off 2012 in the form of both HITCHCOCK and THE GIRL, now may be one of the best times ever to look back at his astonishing career and the great many masterpieces that he gave us.
Now, whether you're a devout fan of his work or you've had your appetite whet by the likes of PSYCHO or VERTIGO and are keen to delve into more, the newly released Alfred Hitchcock: The Masterpiece Collection – featuring 14 titles on dazzling Blu-ray – is an absolute must. Especially the 14-disc limited edition set, which is a thing of beauty.


And all this Hitchcockian goodness leads us to today's competition.
Please note that this contest is open exclusively to residents of the United Kingdom.
To mark the release of Alfred Hitchcock: The Masterpiece Collection, available now on Blu-ray from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment, I have one (1) limited edition copy of the set to give away. To be in with a chance of winning, just answer the following question correctly:
Hitchcock's 1960 film PSYCHO starred Anthony Perkins as which motel manager with a dark secret?
A) Norman Bates
B) Patrick Bateman
C) John Doe
D) Jame Gumb
To enter, all you need to do is send me an email with the subject line “I AM A PSYCHO” and include your full name, location and answer.
For a bonus entry, tell me your answer via Twitter.
The limited edition version of Alfred Hitchcock: The Masterpiece Collection is comprised of hours of bonus features, a collectable 15-page hardback book, art cards, costume sketches, correspondence, photographs and more, plus the following 14 Hitch classics:
- SABOTEUR (1942)

in the UK edition?

Northern Ireland is fine, but not ROI. Sorry!
-
Yes, I'm not sure why it isn't there.
-
It was released on Blu-ray by Warner here in the UK (as they have the rights to it over here) and this is a Paramount set.

I was looking at this article last night that's Scarlet Johannson talking about how she's got "no modesty" when shooting the shower scene in Hitchcock...
by TheSeeker7
It just seems so goddamn cruel, to make it blatantly clear that for production purposes, ScarJo was actually naked there on the set for the shooting of that scene in the movie, but at the same time us as viewers know there won't actually be any nudity in the finished film. CRUEL I TELL YOU!!! :p

No comment on the lousy picture quality of Marnie, Frenzy, and Family Plot?
by broderick crawford
Reviews were brutal for those titles. The other titles ranged from ok to great. Sorry, I'm not paying $200+ for a set that isn't pristine. Not to mention all the extras are SD. What a gyp. Guess I'll just wait until Rear Window and Vertigo and the Birds and a couple others get single releases.

But North by Northwest and Psycho look gorgeous on Blu
by broderick crawford
Even if North by Northwest isn't included in the UK set. It's a beaut.

You're right. But alas I live in the Republic.

I don't live in the UK.

Do they have Blu-ray players and electricity points in the UK? It'd be expensive to run the cables under the castle moats surely? I kid of course old chaps. I'm from the UK but have no interest in this set. How much would they fetch on eBay do you think? Good work on the UK competition though. We get left out of the other stuff most of the time. More please.

Tippie had never acted and her drama coach was the old school Hitchcock. Interesting to see how her old flamboyant style mixed with Connery's modern day realistic approach. Very weird movie. Two great performances, but the two of them acted like they were in two movies 40 years apart. I'd never seen anything like that before. Odd, but good movie. Plus, it has a rape scene. I know creepythinman likes those.

This is an absoloutely amazing prize! Fingers crossed!
