Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The penultimate film directed by Alfred Hitchcock, Frenzy (1972) was adapted by screenwriter Anthony Shaffer from Arthur La Bern's 1966 novel Goodbye Piccadilly, Farewell Leicester Square. It's notable as one of the rare films Hitchcock shot in his native Britain after moving to Hollywood in 1939.Our "hero" Richard Blaney (Jon Finch) is down on his luck; just as he's fired from his job at a London pub, his estranged wife Brenda (Barbara Leigh-Hunt) becomes the latest victim of a necktie-wielding rapist and Serial Killer. Because of a witness's mistake, Blaney is now the prime suspect, with only a few of his friends believing in his innocence. When he's left without his allies and implicated by actual murderer Bob Rusk (Barry Foster), Blaney is left to the mercy of the police, led by Chief Inspector Oxford (Alec McCowen). Will Oxford discover the evidence to catch Rusk and clear Blaney's name?Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

The Alcoholic: Blaney has a glass of alcohol in his hand in most of his scenes. Early on in the film, Forsythe fires him from the pub for helping himself to the spirits first thing in the morning.

As You Know: Used word-for-word by Blaney when he tells Rusk at the start of the film that he hasn't visited his ex-wife in a while.

Adaptation Name Change: Blaney's surname is the rather unsubtle Blamey in the novel.
