Riassunto

The undisputed 'Master of Suspense', Alfred Hitchcock (1899-1980) was at the forefront of cinema almost from its very beginnings, yet throughout his long career he remained a thoroughly 'modern' filmmaker with a singular grasp of the technology and an affinity with his stars.
Lavish illustrated, this biography examines Hitchcock's relationships with the series of 'Hitchcock Blondes', in the light of the director's background and upbringing, and how his complex attitudes to crime, guilt, innocence and sex recur as an intriguing subtext to the film-making of one of the greatest figures in cinema history.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

'Falk gives an intelligent appreciation of classic movies such as Vertigo and Psycho without over-analysing them. He also offers us an understanding of how Hitch’s complex personality helped shape his movies and his attitudes towards his leading ladies. It’s a fine introduction to one of the most important figures in cinema history and it will have you yearning to watch Hitch’s films again.’ (Nigel Powlson Derby Evening Telegraph)
