Film historian James Chapman has mined Hitchcock's own papers to
investigate fully for the first time the spy thrillers of the
world's most famous filmmaker. Hitchcock made his name as director
of the spy movie. He returned repeatedly to the genre from the
British classics of the 1930s, including The 39 Steps and The Lady
Vanishes, through wartime Hollywood films Foreign Correspondent and
Saboteur to the Cold War tracts North by Northwest, Torn Curtain
and his unmade film The Short Night. Chapman's close reading of
these films demonstrates the development of Hitchcock's own style
as well as how the spy genre as a whole responded to changing
political and cultural contexts from the threat of Nazism in the
1930s and 40s to the atom spies and double agents of the post-war
world.
