The Short Night

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Short Night was a film planned by Alfred Hitchcock as a follow-up to Family Plot (1976). An espionage picture, the script was based on both a same-titled novel by Ronald Kirkbride, and the case of real-life double agent George Blake.

Hitchcock considered both Walter Matthau, a onetime guest star on Alfred Hitchcock Presents, and French international film star Catherine Deneuve for lead roles. Because of the director's ill health, the film never got beyond early pre-production.
