I Confess 1953

Was this the only time Hitchcock worked with method actors? I'm not sure.

Not one of my favorite Hitchcocks, but as you say a very good movie. Not all that “Hitchcockian,” but I like that about it; Hitchcock liked trying new things (e.g., Lifeboat), and many of his experiments range from excellent (Lifeboat again) to good (Rope) to mediocre (Under Capricorn) but are always worthwhile and interesting.

As for method actors…does Paul Newman count? He was apparently always asking Hitch “what’s my motivation?” on the set of Torn Curtain (another “lesser Hitchcock” that I like).

In all haste I had forgotten about Newman and Torn Curtain.
According to the extras on I Confess, Clift could at times drive Hitch mad, but appreciated that he took his role seriously, including little details like studying how a priest walks and adapting that kind of walk.
