One of the most revelatory film experiences of my childhood was watching Alfred Hitchcock’s Lifeboat with my grandparents when I was 10. I can’t remember the exact circumstances—I believe it ran on PBS some lonesome Friday night, though I might be wrong about the night or the channel—but I’ll never forget the impact it had on me. It was my first Hitchcock. It was the first black-and-white movie I responded to that didn’t feature Laurel and Hardy or the Marx Brothers.
