The delightfully self-aware blog "Alfred Hitchcock Geek" informs us that the Shamley Green "cottage" where the master of suspense once lived is on the block, if you can come up with 2.5 million in pounds sterling. That's about $5 million U.S. dollars these days. For a nice little weekend place in a village outside of London.

From the stills in Hitchcock's home movies, it looks perfectly lovely -- but I think I'll have to wait until the exchange rate gets a bit better.
