- 9th - Alma Reville suffers a serious and debilitating stroke. Fortunately her husband's personal physician, Dr. Walter Flieg, is on hand and tends to her immediately. Rather than be admitted to hospital and be separated from her husband, she insists on being treated at the Claridge's hotel and she receives round-the-clock medical care for the next few weeks. She eventually makes an almost full recovery — although her speech will remain affected and she loses the movement in 3 of her fingers — and this allows her to make contributions to on-going the Frenzy production.[5][6]
- 10th-16th - Following Alma's stroke, Hitchcock reschedules all his Frenzy cast and crew meetings to be held at Claridge's so that he can be close to his wife.[6]
