Influenced by the French New Wave and Italian Neorealism, Hitchcock worked in the mid-60s on Kaleidoscope, a low budget horror thriller about a bodybuilder who lures women to their deaths near water. The film was supposed to be transgressive, showing violence and sex in an unusually explicit way. The project was scrapped because executives at Universal felt strongly that Kaleidoscope was too uncommercial. Today, stills and a one-minute test footage are available that were shot in New York in preparation for the film.
