Alfred Hitchcock Interviews

Octavo; paperback; 219pp. Some minor marks to the text block edges. Near fine. Such films as 'Psycho', 'North by Northwest', 'Spellbound', 'Vertigo', 'Rear Window', 'To Catch a Thief', 'Notorious', and 'The Birds' made the Hitchcock imprint synonymous with both stylish, sophisticated suspense and mordant black comedy. Alfred Hitchcock was one of the most interviewed directors in the history of film. Among the hundreds of interviews he gave, those in this collection catch Hitchcock at key moments of transition in his long career - as he moved from silent to sound pictures, from England to America, from thrillers to complex romances, and from director to producer-director. These conversations dramatize his shifting attitudes on a variety of cinematic matters that engaged and challenged him, including the role of stars in a movie, the importance of story, the use of sound and colour, his relationship to the medium of television, and the attractions and perils of realism.
