Martin Scorsese recently tried something never done before: the restoration of “Key To Reserva,” a film by Alfred Hitchcock.

A movie that had never been made.

Then again, maybe not.

This straight-faced presentation from 2007 had many people thinking the mini-movie was, in fact, real. (Is that a whiff of Orson Welles in the air?)

Scorsese did a brilliant job of invoking the spirit of Hitchcock.  He also incorporated the music of composer Bernard Herrmann, who was responsible for scoring the biggest hits Hitchcock ever made.  (Hermann also scored Scorsese’s Taxi Driver.)

If you’re a fan of Hitchcock, Scorsese, or Herrmann, hit the PLAY button, sit back, and enjoy 9 minutes of fantastic fun.

If you consider yourself a film freak (like me), see how many references to Hitchcock movies you can find.  There’s even a secret reference to Herrman – a visual cue for a non-Hitchcock movie he intended to score, but never did.
