The author focuses on the way that music has infiltrated
Hitchcock's thinking as a director, from his earliest silent films
to his last works. Music is an underexplored dimension in
Hitchcock's works. Taking a different view from most works on
Hitchcock, David Schroeder focuses on how an expanded definition of
music influences Hitchcock's conception of cinema. The structure
and rhythm of his films is an important addition to the critical
literature on Hitchcock and our understanding of his films and
approach to filmmaking. Alfred Hitchcock liked to describe his work
as a director in musical terms; for some of his films, it appears
that he started with an underlying musical conception, and
transformed that sense of music into visual images. The director's
favorite scenes lacked dialogue, and they made their impact through
a combination of non-verbal actions and music. For example, the
waltz and the piano are used as powerful images in silent films,
and this approach carries over into sound films. Looking at such
films as "Vertigo", "Rear Window", and "Shadow of a Doubt",
Schroeder provides a unique look at the way that Hitchcock thought
about cinema in musical terms.
