...growth of the girl gangs has paralleled an alarming rise in muggings that began last year. In the first six months of 1972, muggings in the most heavily populated areas of London were up by as much as 70%, and Scotland Yard recently established two special plainclothes squads to combat the trend...
...speak in the House of Commons. "Message from the Queen, signed by her Majesty's own hand!" he shouted. The paper, which Carr had brought by boat and plane from the royal yacht Britannia, on which Queen Elizabeth II had been cruising off the west coast of Scotland, was a declaration of a national state of emergency.

Frenzy is the first film that Hitchcock has shot in England for more than 20 years. Like a prodigal at home again, he lets his camera roam lovingly across London-Tower Bridge to Covent Garden, Hyde Park to Scotland Yard, where Chief Inspector Oxford (Alec McCowen) is trying to solve the unsavory murders of a dozen London women who have been strangled with a silk...
