Cinematographic magic
Anna Massey died today. She appears in this scene - for those who don't know it, it's Hitchcock's "Frenzy" and Barry Foster's lead in line to a murder is "your my kind of girl". When you watch, note this from 2m 05s or so and just marvel. No actors, no dialogue, nothing but one of the most chilling scenes ever because it's all in your head.
Remarkable work

Frenzy is a very good film and that scene, as you say, is remarkable.

Even the "Got a place to stay?" at the start, Tone. Sets you right off because it's from behind her, he's out of shot and although it's in a fairly flat tone, having seen the film so far, you know what's coming and it makes it that much more clinical.

Thats it, there as interesting back story to the film , it got terrible reviews at the time because it was so shocking and never got released, but is now considered a classic movie of its genre.

I watched "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" last week, having not seen it for a while (well, I intended to watch the opening five minutes: two hours later I was watching the Chief put the hydrotherapy unit through the window and run off to Canada).
Aside from realising that I could recite sizeable chunks of the script verbatim ("Jack Dunphy's full of shit") some of the camerawork is frankly phenomenal - scenes where the camera just tracks faces, no script and you get the full weight of anything from frustration, desolation or uncomfortable self-examination - Jack Nicholson acts his nuts off in parts and without saying a word.
