Gathered here for the first time are Alfred Hitchcock's reflections
on his own life and work. In this ample selection of largely
unknown and formerly inaccessible interviews and essays, Hitchcock
provides an enlivening commentary on a career that spanned decades
and transformed the history of the cinema. Bringing the same
exuberance and originality to his writing as he did to his films,
he ranges from accounts of his own life and experiences to
techniques of filmmaking and ideas about cinema in general. Wry,
thoughtful, witty, and humorous as well as brilliantly informative
this selection reveals another side of the most renowned filmmaker
of our time. Sidney Gottlieb not only presents some of Hitchcock's
most important pieces, but also places them in their historical
context and in the context of Hitchcock's development as a
director. He reflects on Hitchcock's complicated, often troubled,
and continually evolving relationships with women, both on and off
the set. Some of the topics Hitchcock touches upon are the
differences between English and American attitudes toward murder,
the importance of comedy in film, and the uses and techniques of
lighting. There are also many anecdotes of life among the stars,
reminiscences from the sets of some of the most successful and
innovative films of this century, and incisive insights into
working method, film history, and the role of film in society.
Unlike some of the complex critical commentary that has emerged on
his life and work, the director's own writing style is refreshingly
straightforward and accessible. Throughout the collection,
Hitchcock reveals a delight and curiosity about his medium that
bring all his subjects to life.
